Technical issues and repair guidelines

The 01N (together with 098/01P and 095/096/01M) - the leader among Audi-VW transmissions in repair frequency. The 01N steadily holds the third place in demand, behind only a younger family U140-240 and the unconditional leader 5HP19(FL).This transmission is very reliable, maintainable, simple, and some problems usually occur only after large mileages.

Often transmission specialists change only the burned-out 3-4 (K3) packs and Forward-Rev together with bearing discs, separate plastic bearings, gaskets, pump and seals. Electric components and the valve body units usually have tha same issues as in the 01M transmission. The torque converter is the main source of faulty operation of the valve body. The sooner the torque converter lock-up lining is replaced, the less is the wear-out of solenoids and the valve body.

The standard order for reassembly of the old 01N transmission includes filter and complete kits: Overhaul kit, Frictions, Pistons.

Ordered Kits:

-Kit of gaskets and seals;

-Kit of friction components, usually ordered with the kit of steel discs;

-Kit of pistons is the same for 01M-N-P, and it is ordered for most major repairs.
