I'm planning on pulling the transmission in my 96 D1 tomorrow. Does anyone here have experience with that or know of a write up on how to do it? I can't find any info on my Rave disc that gives the procedure for this. I have a donor trans out of a 99 that I'm putting back in.
Thanks for any help you guy's can provide.

 

Somewhere along the line I picked up an R380 gearbox overhaul manual which is, I think, what you need. Download it here...

Search for 44.20.04

It's there for both the V8 and TDI

 

if you can try to borrow/rent a transmission jack...

 

x2 Let us know how it went for you...

 

The donor, is it a 99 D1 or D2? If D2, it won't work.
Might want to download a free copy of the Rave CD for some good guidance.

 

Had something to come up, so will have to put this project off a little longer.
Mike, yes the donor was a D!.

 

Rent/beg/borrow/steal a transmission jack! You will never get the transmission swapped out if you get killed by the transfer case falling on you. The LT230 is one of the worst to balance and you really need a proper jack.

Remove the transfer case input gear before attempting to remove the case since it will dig into the floor before it's far enough back to clear the splines of the transmission output shaft.
