olkswagen’s direct-shift gear box DSG D SG 02E (see Figure F igure 1) is used in the United States in some 2004-to-present New Beetle, Figure Figu re 1
Figure Figu re 2
New Jetta and Golf GTI models. It is a six-speed manual front-wheel-drive gearbox that is shifted automatically. This unit uses two clutch packs, called the K1 and K2, to dri ve two input shafts called no other than input shaft 1 and input shaft 2. Each input shaft has its own set of gears that drive output shaft 1 and output shaft 2. (I’ll bet you saw that one coming!) This article begins with a few tips on tearing the unit down, and following articles will get into how it works. A closer look at the front of the unit shows a large piloted input shaft that is driven by a dual-mass flywheel (see Figure 2). The front of the transmission is sealed with a molded cover plate held into the transmission with inner and outer snap rings (see Figure 3). This molded cover plate is similar to what is used in 45RFE units covering the pump. The cover plate in this DSG transmission seals oil that is used to cool the K1 and K2 clutches as they are simultaneously pulsed on and off during shifts. After removing the cover plate, you can see the whole clutch housing with the large piloted input shaft (see Figure 4). This cover continues page 20

is held into the housing with a snap ring, and when it is removed the K1 and K2 drum assembly is visible along with a pump-drive shaft. Figure Figu re 5
A snap ring holds the K1/K2 clutch drum onto the double input shaft. After you remove the snap ring and pump-drive shaft the drum assembly will slide off the input shafts (see figures 5 through 8). The longer of the two shafts is input shaft 1 and the shorter is input shaft 2. Figures 9 and 10 show the K1 and K2 clutch drum partially disassembled. The larger outer clutches are the K1 clutch, which drives input shaft 1, and the smaller clutches are the K2, which drives input shaft 2. With the side pan removed you will find that there is a valve body with 11 solenoids and the transmission’s computer (see Figure 11

Then you need to remove nine #30 blackhead Torx bolts. It may be a good idea to give them each a sharp tap beforee removing befor remo ving them t hem as the Torx To rx pocket is shallow and can easily strip out.

You may tend to use this long sensor pickup as a handle to move the assembly around – not a good idea! With the TCM and valve body out of the way, the sensor previously unplugged can be removed from the case (see Figure 14). This item contains an input-speed sensor and an oil-temperature sensor.

TCM allows the computer to control the flow of cooler oil through one of the 11 solenoids on the valve body. The input-speed sensor is used to calculate clutch slip. The engine-speed sensor is used as a backup should this sensor fail. On the back side of the transmission is a small back cover that you can remove to gain access to
the pump (see Figure 15). With the pump removed you will find a sensor wheel on the back side of output shaft 2 (see Figure 16). This is the sensor wheel that is used to excite the two Hall-effect output sensors in that long extension on the TCM. The use of two output-speed sensors allows the TCM not only to continues page 24

The Direct-Shift Gearbox Part 2

oused inside the six-speed direct-shift gearbox (DSG) is a Mechatronics assembly consisting of a control module, valve body and solenoids (see figures 1 and 2). It is the control center that shifts this manual gearbox automatically by turning on and off two separate clutch drums called the K1 and K2 clutches. Each clutch supplies engine torque to its respective input shaft, which then drives one of two output shafts. The K1 clutch and Input Shaft 1 provide 1st, 3rd, 5th and reverse gears, and the K2 clutch and Input Shaft 2 provide 2nd, 4th and 6th gears (see
figures 3 and 4). As you can easily determine, K1 is cycled on for 1st and then turns off while K2 is cycled on for 2nd and so on. The output-shaft configurations are slightly different from those of the input shafts in that Output Shaft 1 consists of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears and Output Shaft 2 consists of 5th, Neutral, 6th and reverse gears (see figures 5 and 6 on page 42). Since the Mechatronics is control central, let’s begin by seeing all that it is equipped with to operate this cleverly designed unit, starting with the 11 solenoids shown in figures 7 and 8. text continues on page 43

Each of the clutches (K1 and K2) has its own solenoid with which its assigned clutch is cycled on and off during gear changes, as you can see in the upperleft corner of Figure 8 (N215 for K1 and N216 for K2). Greater details of this solenoid and all the others, as well as other components integral to the Mechatronics, will be discussed in part 3 of this article. The next four solenoids (N88, N89, N90 and N91) make up the shift-solenoid group. N88 is responsible for 1st and 5th gears, N89 takes care of 3rd and neutral, N90 handles 2nd and 6th, and N91 provides 4th and reverse. For each of these shift solenoids to be able to provide two different gears at different times, a “multiplexer” valve in the valve body (see Figure 9) is text continues on page 48

lthough the DSG 02E transmission contains 11 solenoids, they could be placed into three categories: gear actuator, pressure control and TCC. This article covers the first group and part of the second, and next month’s article will cover the rest of the second group and the third. A typical-style conductor plate is used for the solenoid circuitry and is secured to the valve-body Mechatronic assem bly with four # 20 Torx-head shoulder bolts that could be easily misused as solenoid attaching bolts (see figures 1 and 2). Once the conductor plate is removed all 11 solenoids come into view (see Figure 3). If you save past issues of Transmission Digest you will find in last month’s issue on page 43 in Figure 8 a layout that will quickly identify each of these solenoids. I suggest reading it again if you have it, as it will enhance this article greatly. N88, N89, N90 and N91 make up the first group, the gear-actuator solenoids. They are on/off solenoids that measure 7 to 9 ohms and provide one of two gears, depending upon the position of the multiplexer valve in the valve body. You must be careful when removing a gear actuator solenoid, as there is a directional ball seat, a 6mm-diameter checkball, a text continues page 20

Under each of the gear-actuator solenoids 1, 2, 3 and 4 there are two Orings, a 6mm ball, a short five-coil spring (6.25mm in length, 5.05mm in diameter) and a ball seat. The spring goes into the valve-body pocket first, followed by the ball and two O-rings. The ball seat is directionally sensitive. The slotted side faces the solenoid and the tapered seat faces the ball.

When a solenoid fails, the operation of its associated gear actuator and relevant section of the gearbox will cease. The vehicle may be allowed to have either 2nd gear only or 1st and 3rd gears only. Copyright © 2007 ATSG

text continued from page 8 small five-coil spring and two O-rings under each of them (see figures 4 through 10 on pages 10, 12, and 18). Pressure is supplied to these solenoids from the spring pocket pushing the ball up against the ball seat on the solenoid. When the solenoid is energized, a pushrod in
the solenoid extends outward, pushing the ball off its seat. This allows the feed pressure to run around the ball to the back side of the seat and out of its slotted side openings (see Figure 4 on page 10), where it is then directed to the multiplexer valve and on to its respective gear actuator. By looking at the operation of
this solenoid you can see the importance of the ball seat’s being installed correctly and of having properly sealing O-rings, for they keep the supply and apply circuits separated. It will be interesting to see what could happen when the smaller O-ring leaks, allowing supply pressure into the gear-actuator continues page 22

N218
Pressure-control solenoid # 3 (N217) is a normally applied solenoid that measures about 4 to 6 ohms. This solenoid regulates main line pressure. Engine temperature and speed are used to correct main line pressure. In the event of a failure, the solenoid shuts off and the system works under maximum line pressure.
Pressure-control solenoid # 4 (N218) is a normally applied solenoid that measures about 4 to 6 ohms. This solenoid regulates the volume of oil used to cool the K1 and K2 clutches. The multi-plate-clutch oil-temperature sender G509 influences the operation of this solenoid greatly. If this solenoid fails so there is minimal cooling fluid, the clutches will overheat. If the solenoid fails so that it delivers the maximum volume of cooling fluid, gear change becomes difficult at cold ambient temperatures and the driver may notice a loss of fuel economy.

apply circuit to the multiplexer valve when it should not be there. The second grouping consists of six pressure-control solenoids. The four being discussed in this article are N217, N218, N233 and N371 (see figures 11 through 15). N217 is used to control main line pressure, N218 is used to control cooling pressure to the K1 and K2 clutches, and N233 and N371 are safety-control solenoids. When you look at figures 13 and 14, you will notice that the safety-control solenoid is constructed slightly differently from the pressure-control solenoid, yet they all measure 4 to 6 ohms, they all are normally closed and only one O-ring is fitted to the snout of each (see Figure 15). Pressure is supplied to the tip of each of these solenoids, and their respective circuits are charged with pressure when the solenoid is off. When the solenoid becomes energized, fluid passes through the solenoid to an exhaust, dropping pressure in their respective circuits (see Figure 11). For a more-detailed explanation of each of these solenoids read the operating details provided in Figure 12. We will finish looking at the remaining solenoids and some helpful box information in part 4 next month. TD

icking up where we left off last month, the remaining three solenoids to cover are two pressure-control solenoids – N215, which operates the K1 clutch, and N216, which operates the K2 clutch – and the N92 multiplexer solenoid (see Figure 1). The multiplexer solenoid measures about 15 to 20 ohms, as shown in Figure 2 on page 12. Be careful not to
lose parts when removing this solenoid, as there are two O-rings, a directional ball seat and ball under the solenoid (see figures 3 through 5). Additionally, the attaching bolts hold together the solenoid assembly, which will fall apart in pieces as you can see in Figure 6.

which must be installed correctly. Figure 9 on page 20 shows details of the solenoid operation. The N215 and N216 solenoids measure 4.5 to 6.5 ohms as seen in

continued from page 12 Figure9 Under the N92 #5 multiplexer solenoid are two O-rings, a thin ball seat (about 1.50mm) and a 3.94mm ball. The ball goes into the solenoid pocket, followed by two O-rings and the ball seat. The ball seat is directionally sensitive. Be sure that the flat side faces the solenoid and the tapered seat faces the ball.
Take care when removing this solenoid assembly from the valve body, as all its parts will separate.
Oil pressure is sent to the ball from the bottom and is blocked from passing through the solenoid when the solenoid is turned off.
When the solenoid is energized the plunger pushes the ball down, allowing oil pressure to get past the ball seat and enter its circuit. Copyright © 2007 ATSG

Pressure-control solenoid #1 (N215) is a normally low solenoid that measures about 4.5 to 6.5 ohms. This solenoid regulates pressure to the K1 clutch. Engine torque influences the operation of this solenoid significantly. This solenoid could fail in the applied state, keeping the K1 clutch applied and causing the engine to stall at a stop. Failure of the solenoid also could prevent the K1 clutch from applying or cause it to apply partially, resulting in premature failure of the clutch.

The #5 multiplexer solenoid (N92) is an on/off solenoid that measures about 15 to 20 ohms. This solenoid is used to stroke the multiplexer valve in the valve body, which allows for one gear-actuator solenoid to provide two different gears. OE manuals say: When the solenoid is off, 1st, 3rd, 6th and reverse can be achieved. Hydraulics reveal: When the solenoid is off, 1st, 3rd, 5th and reverse can be achieved. OE manuals say: When the solenoid is turned on, 2nd, 4th and 5th can be achieved. Hydraulics reveal: When the solenoid is turned on, 2nd, 4th, 6th and neutral can be achieved. Failure of this solenoid will cause incorrect selection of gears. Copyright © 2007 ATSG

he DSG valve body is definitely one of the simplest we have seen in transmissions (see figures 1 through 5 here and on page 18). It contains only five valve lineups, two checkballs, three damper assemblies, two pressure senders (pressure sensors/transducers) and 13 filters (see figures 2, 3 and 5). The two checkballs and pressure senders are in the K1- and K2-clutch pressure circuits, which are being continues page 18

continued from page 10 used for precise clutch-pressure control and release. These sensors are integral to the TCM and are staked into the channel-plate portion of the valve body (see Figure 4), making these sensors non-serviceable separately. This also means that the TCM cannot be easily removed from the valve body even if you remove all the bolts (see Figure 6 on page 20). So it appears that if a pressure sender fails, you will be buying a TCM/valve-body assembly to correct the problem.
It is no secret that the manufacturers are doing everything they can to get us to the place where all we can do is unit replacements – very un-American, in my opinion. If you prevent the middle-class working man from earning a living, you weaken a country. It is not typical of me to get on a soapbox like this, but the things we are seeing in the automotive business have me very concerned. Try to buy transmission parts for a Nissan Murano; it cannot be done. You are forced to buy a
whole transmission. Our politicians do not give a hoot about America, just their back pocket. It sure would be nice if our automotive associations had more clout on The Hill. OK, I am done; back to tech. Thank you for giving me a few minutes to blow off some steam. With the valve body as simple as it is, it does not take much effort to identify and trace hydraulic circuits, as I did in Figure 7. This becomes helpful in identifying case continues page 20

passages for testing. For example, if you look below the multiplexer valve in the hydraulic circuit shown in Figure 8 on page 22, the shift rails inside the transmission are represented. From left to right you have the 3-1 shift rail, the N-5, the R-6 and then the 4-6. Each end of these shift rails sits inside a cylinder containing a piston seal known as a gear actuator (see figures 9 and 10 on page 24). When

you look at Figure 11, you can see how one can inspect these gear actuators for leaks with compressed air through their respective case passages. You also will notice that there are slots and holes within the center of the case as shown in Figure 12. These are openings for various sensors built into the TCM, which are identified in Figure 13 on page 26. Four of those sensors are called “travel sensors.” They monitor the position of the four shift rails by reading the magnet travel senders 3 that are affixed to each of the rails (see figures 14 R and 15). The other sensors and senders identified in figN371 safety ures 13 and 15 are: solenoid & valve • The input-speed sender (G182) is a Hall-ef5 fect sensor that reads the 1 outside of the K1/K2clutch drum, which rotates N88 N88 signal Sign at engine speed.

should this sensor fail, the transmission computer uses signals from the gear-oil temperature sensor G93 and the control-unit temperature sensor G510, both inside the transmission computer. Figure 9

mounted on each shaft. These signals are used in conjunction with the input-speed signal (G182) to determine the output slip of clutches K1 and K2. Besides using these signals to tailor clutch-slip control, it also can determine whether the right gear ratio has been selected. If sender G501 fails, only second gear can be achieved. If sensor G502 fails, only 1st and 3rd can be achieved. Output-speed sensors G195 and G196 are also Hall-effect sensors inside the transmission computer. They, too, are excited by a wheelspeed sensor mounted on the shaft. By having two output-speed signals that are offset, the computer can detect direction of travel. The G195 sends a “high” signal and the G196 sends a “low” signal. As a redundancy should these sensors fail, ABS wheel-speed signals are substituted for both direction of travel and road speed. • Gear-oil temperature sender G93 and control-unit temperature sender G510 are both inside the Mechatronic transmission-control unit. With this unit being placed inside the transmission, the oil temperature can be monitored. These two sensor signals are used to check the Mechatronic’s temperature, they are used to start a warm-up program and they check each other for faults. If an over temp is detected, measures are initiated to reduce oil temperature as rapidly as possible to avoid excessive heat generation in the continues page 26 Figure 12
