  • On first inspection of our Audi A5 we found some excessive play in the front drive flange cup. We initially suspected bearing wear but after removing the gearbox we found the problem to be something else...
    Whilst the gearbox was out and the fact it wasn't a 2 minute job to do so, we also decided to replace the Flywheel for a new unit.
    Another issue that we addressed at the same time was oil starvation causing clutch slip. Under hard acceleration oil is pushed to the back of the gearbox and away from the oil pick up. This in turn reduced the oil pressure providing the clamping force on the clutches and can cause momentary clutch slip.
    The Catch Can kit we fitted allowed us to over fill the gearbox eliminating the pressure drop. Increasing the oil level will also help slow down the rising oil temperatures due to increased volume.

    Excellent getting to the heart of it. You can and probably should get stiffer springs in the dual mass. Powerboat companies are the expert source when it comes to dual mass flywheels. They deal with 7000hp velvet drives. The DL501 OEM clutches are only rated to 450 ft-lbs. SSP Performance has 600 ft-lb and 800 ft-lb ($1,799) rated clutch packs. Also need viton seals and TCU tune for increased line pressure. Final stage is going to be an hd trans cooler.

    • @DarksideDevelopments
      @DarksideDevelopments  Před 3 lety +1

      The stock seals are Viton, we have a TCM tune and held way over 600lbs. We had a few customers with SSP clutches that slipped worse that stock too! We fitted a transmission cooler in a different video. Thanks for info related to DMF's.

    I've just done something similar on my car, front bearing was worn, got a new one from TPS no problems, about £35. Easiest way I found to get the stub axle out was to screw two longer bolts back into the flange against the housing, came out quite easily. I also managed to do it with the gearbox still installed in the car, was tight but just enough room to get the diff out.

I found the play in the stub shaft right side. Figured that must be it. Found your video only while taking things apart. I didn't take the transmission out, just removed the stub shaft. looks good, probably will order a new one and hope for the best? Any advice is appreciated ..Thanks

So far I have changed all wheel bearings, wheels and tires four times so far, front suspension whole , new drive shafts , new propshaft , new rear diff, gearbox mount, new bearing for the shaft going through gbox to driveshaft , tracking , springs ...... and its still there. You gave me an idea to check the play in that flange .... Will play be noticeable with drive shaft still attached?

Vibrations are only on D and R. N and P is silky smooth. During any speed shifting seems ok no problem at all. After 30 minutes everything is at it should be. Vibrations are without any noise. I have brand new engine mounts but it didn't help. What could cause this problem?

    @Ryan P My Audi A5 3.0tdi quattro Sport 2008 has 6 speed auto gearbox. Is it tiptronic being 2008 model..not S-tronic? If it is tiptronic what would be the max Nm the gearbox could safely handle..less than S-tronic or similar? Also I have noticed that after I have driven around a bit more aggressively (still in D not S mode) 2nd gear tends to change into 3rd gear a lot later in higher rpms nearly around 3rpms (not flooring at all driving calm now) + I can hear some sort of a whinny noise until the gear finally changes. Car is now at 148k miles with no previous record of any gearbox/diff oil changes. Love your A5 project by the way.

      It's worth changing the oil before doing anything else.

    in fact it was very interesting pal..... just curious about the flange you replaced...did you measure with a micrometer the snap ring? the new flange snap ring looked a lot thicker to the old one which was worn...im saying it think it was the snap ring that had worn thin through the torque of the crown wheel even though the diff is braced by the alloy cast the shafts still have minimal play thus wearing the snap ring.just a thought.
