02M 6 Speed Gearbox Shim Whining Fix - VW / Audi / SEAT / Skoda

The 6 six speed gearboxes in VWs Mk4 Golf, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, (petrol & diesel) tend to develop a whining sound on deceleration as well as sticking on gear shifts. A simple 02M shim mod repair can eliminate excessive play in the mainshaft and all related symptoms.
Part Numbers: Shim - WHT-001-976 Cover - O2M-301-211-B

[@bangotesla6796]

ABSOLUTE LEGEND. 11 dollar fix for me. for years i've had this whine in my 04 GTI vr6. This fixed every whine, drift, clunky shift. several techs told me i need a new gearbox. wild.

[@RedlineRevs]

So glad it saved you dollars bro. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@alexandrucaldararu1187]

Thank you so much for the effort of making this Video. I managed to fix this by installing the shim + replacing cap and the thick bearing bearing securing ring. Part WHT001976 (0,65mm shim) + replacement 0A5311183(securing ring because most probably old one got weared) and 02M301211B (replacement cap ) BUT BE CAREFULL: after i installed the 0,65mm shim I still had some play, could have fitted a thicher one, so instead of WHT001976 you could get the full set with different thickness part: 02B498210 and fit the proper one depending on your level of play. Thanks again!!!

[@spencergold1279]

Hi mate - I did this 6,000 miles ago - but the issue’s come back (clutch pedal gets a bit stuck down, and has crept along when the pedal was fully down). I had a look yesterday and can’t quite get another shim in, so need a thinner one. Does the full shim kit haven’t different thicknesses? Many thanks.

[@alexandrucaldararu1187]

@@spencergold1279 Yes Spencer, the kit has many sizes, from 0.6 up to 2mm i recall, you can find the exact numbers on some sites

[@spencergold1279]

Alexandru Caldararu thanks very much. I found some differential shim kits - but they’re a smaller diameter - so won’t fit the end of the input shaft which is accessible under the plastic cap... will have a hunt around.

[@fulhamchappie]

Yeah £80 for a full set seems a bit of a waste

i've got 3 x 0.65 shims sent by darkside and i managed to fit 2 of them in and it was a very tight fit once done there was 0 play as a result.

[@oldhemp2636]

Awesome video I've just carried out this work after following your video on my vehicle SEAT Alhambra 7M 2.0 TDI 140 6 speed manual gearbox. Couldn't have done it without this video really helped me out and save me hundreds of pounds. In my case the plug cap had become corroded meaning fluid was slowly leaking from the gearbox (fixed by installing new plug seal), also I was having problems selecting reverse and first gear which was down to the excessive play in the bearing. ( Fixed by installing shim). I realized this issue would be fixed by installing the shim after watching this video to fix the initial problem with the leaking seal cap. Remember that if you need to install the shim you have to replace seal cap also, as when you take off the old one it gets damaged and you cannot use it again. So buy the shim and the seal cap as a pair

[@anton101101]

Thanks for uploading. I got my shims n cap off DarksideDev, came with 3 shims just case you got really bad play and don't forget if you can get em circlip/snap ring pliers makes getting the ring out easier. So what I did first was check the play in the shaft and yes there was play so stuck in the 2 out of the 3 shims to see what I needed to use but I found I couldn't fit in the circlip on top of the 2 shims to lock it as of course that circlip also acts as a shim so really only need 1 shim plus the circlip. With the circlip now back in with 1 shim the play in the shaft was pretty much gone also the new plastic cover you hammer back on is also going to apply a resistance against the play.

[@kangapoopradjan4426]

Very well Done 👍 Good concise video Get a pair of circlip pliers & should clean area first & wipe cap seal area with clean dry cloth b4 fitting new cap If you have an automatic link that pays you for sending people to a tool company you might want to find a circlip plier set that has 3 removable heads for making this job & others easier & quicker It benefits you & the many people who watch your vid & think may try this but put off by circlip faff. Take this as a compliment from an engineer who's been fixing things for 50+ years 👍

Top lad! I installed this mod onto my Audi TT MK1 (02M FZP Gearbox) yesterday. All gear whine miraculously gone from 1-4 and it's smooth to shift now! No crunches, no difficult gear changes. I want to thank you for this video as it definitely helped me doing this on my own, this is a REALLY EASY AND RECOMMENDED mod if you have gear whining hands down. It's amazing how such a washer can make all that difference. Are there any downsides to this mod, or is it nothing but beneficial to the gearbox.

[@sumonmiah2258]

What mileage ?

[@midorialexandros]

You're a fucking saint. Just completed this job on my 2005 GLI 6speed. You really undersold how much of a difference this makes. I was getting some sticking going from reverse to first gear, and some sloppy shifts from 2nd to 3rd. I ALWAYS heard a pretty noisy "clunk" when pushing the clutch in, something I assumed was normal. Gone. All of it. Smooth as butter, you can't even hear or feel when the clutch is pressed in now. Not the same car. Feels like I just dropped a brand new gear box into it. Makes me wonder how many people had work done to their gear box that didn't need it, or how many failed prematurely. You'd think VW would have put out a bulletin about this. Anyway, thank you again. xoxo

[@humanbean899]

I have pretty much these same symptoms, but I bought the shim and attempted to install today, and while there is some play there, it isn't enough to get the circlip properly back over the top of it. So I had to put it all back together with the new lid - makes me wonder what else could be causing these issues, I've had a new clutch and dual mass flywheel.

[@midorialexandros]

​@@humanbean899 It's supposed to be a very tight fit, that's how it's supposed to be, so there is no play. There shouldn't be any play at all. I suggest getting another cap and taking it apart again.

[@botondgavaller817]

is it still good?

[@RideToLive102]

Thanks for taking time out of your daily schedule to record stuff like this for us to benefit from absolutely free of charge. My cupra 1.8t 2004 seems to have a big plastic cover covering the whole thing so I can't see what's behind it, looked for ways to remove it seems impossible without bumper off? You don't seem to have that issue.

[@RedlineRevs]

My brother thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to share your supportive words. My TDI had the same plastic cover, I ripped it off and threw it away, didn't even reassemble it, and never looked back.

[@RedlineRevs]

You should be able to remove that plastic sheet w/ bumper still on- although mine was just hanging on so it came off easy.

[@RideToLive102]

Smashing chap for that rapid reply, what a legend. The weather is rather ugly at the moment, I will get a proper look at it when my shim and cap gets delivered tomorrow, attempted to contact the guys mentioned on your video and apparently they have had so many people asking about it based on your video(influenced a lot of people to go DYI prompts to you) that they are out of stock and do not know when they will receive more. I ordered directly from dealer both parts £15 which isn't tragic by a long throw if it fixes the absolutely PITA whining sound coming from the box during deceleration mostly noticeable in 3rd but is there throughout the gears just far quieter. Thanks boss, will keep updated on the outcome likely tomorrow, at the same time fitting new PCV pipes ordered from fleebay as keeping the car bog standard except for map (easier resale :wink:).

[@RideToLive102]

Hi again fella. Had all my parts today, removed the cover(i mean ripped it off completely as all fixings were shot anyway) and for the life of me the clip wouldn't go back in after fitting the shim, if I forced the clip it went in but so tight that the ring and internals would no longer spin. Can I assume that I haven't got quite that much play yet hence being unable to install the shim? Cheers

[@RideToLive102]

@@RedlineRevs hey buddy, attempted it again with a bit more spare time as the car is off road atm, for the life of me can not get the clip to sit properly, I can force it in the grooves but its such a tight fit that the mechanism is very hard to spin and getting the clip back out is fkin cancer. Do I not yet have enough play or can it actually be driven with the shim being so damn tight? Would appreciate any input plz thanks

Fitted this on my MKV GTi because the clutch was sticking intermittently and it felt as though there was minimal back pressure whilst changing gears. This has completely fixed it. Thanks very much!

You my friend are a bloody gem!! My R has developed the exact noise (great impression of the sound btw haha) 1st and 3rd are the most noticeable but I'm pretty sure it's there in all gears slightly. My only worry is that the car had a box rebuild back in 2011 and I'm guessing that they did this shim mod when they rebuilt it? However, I'm willing to spend £20 to see if it fixes it before I source another gearbox.

[@RedlineRevs]

scastle90 thanks for your support. worth checking it could just be this it's completely stopped the sound for me.

Well done! I saw this video and another one that greatly helped get my shim installed! It's cured quite a few issues as far as I can can tell with clutch creep, etc.!

Does the circlip have to sit do far back it touches the Shim? I have a groove at the lip of the gearbox where the circlip naturally wants to sit but it then stops the cap from going back on

Hello my friend. I have a Audi A3 8v 1.6tdi 2015, 6 gear and the gear box does that sound. Do you know if that part is compatible with my car? Thank you

Hello my Skoda fabia vrs make a noise when your on idle at rev 1k t0 2k it starts juddering when you let you foot of the gass

[@inkedtothebone]

Hey man. Hope you can answer me. I have just been to view a Fabia VRS 1.9tdi 130. It's having real trouble selecting 1st gear. The seller told me a shim kit would sort it. Is he right in what he is saying?

[@ijjaz786]

Can any one please give a video for 2007 Octavia 1.9 TDI 5 speed

[@lennycook206]

Mate I'm hoping this is gonna be my fix. I have mk 5 gold plus 1.9tdi and its a feint but obvious whine in 3rd... But only when I accelerate. Take foot off ggas and it stops, its free wheels in 3rd with no noise. All other gears seem normal. Change is still perfect, so I guess it's still in early days. Do you think this will work for me? My car is only a 5 speed... Any advise?

[@RedlineRevs]

Yes that sounds like the same problem. But you'll have to check if the 5 speed box has the removable plastic cover to get in from as I think this may work on 6 speed boxes. Let us know how you get on.

[@taahirgause7392]

Can the bearing itself be removed and replaced? Broke my bearing yesterday. Any help !?

[@theeviloneohyes]

i am guessing that the 6 speed gear box in my vw based ford galaxy is the same , my 1.9tdi whines like mad in 5th gear when i take my foot off the gas ...

[@RedlineRevs]

Yes It's The same you can do this on the galaxy.

[@mattconstantine5429]

Hi, do u remember if the severity of the noise changed when steering left to right?

[@thevoiceland]

I'm having the same problem with my vw polo 9n 1.4 tdi but i don't know if it same
