Ok i was looking over my tranny etc preparing to do the clutch job...anyways i discoverd a 3/4in hole that you can viev the flywheel through so i freaked out for a minute then called andrew and asked him about it he told me yea its normal but should have a plug in it so that relived me now i need to get a plug to plug it for when i put my spec stage 2+ in...Here is a pic of the hole i am talking about:

I am wondering if this is the plug for that hole? If not then I guess i will just have to manufacture a plug...

In case you want to look at yours to see if you plug is here this pic shows where it is its on the tranny close to the motor the yellow arrow points to the realitive location

 

timing plug

 

awesome so ill order it from ecs Thanks Cincy! I will saftey wire the plug this time so it doesnt mysteriously pop out...After talking with ray i am sure the tranny has never been off before as it still has the yellow tamper paint on the mount bolts from the factory.

 

when are you starting your clutch job?

can't wait to see all the OMG threads during that process. hope it doesn't end with a picture post of your TT flatbedding on its way to a shop to complete the job.

good luck.

 

Why not just run to the audi or vw dealer? THey will also confirm it for you. It says its on all the 02M trannys so both places will have it. Not to mention you can have it now.

 

I will call them but they never have anything in stock around here but I will deff try. I am not sure if i am going to start the clutch job monday or If I am going to wait till the week after...I am trying to figure out a few more things before i start my manual will be here tomm so that will answer alot of the questions but i really want to do it on only 24in jack stands if possible i think it can be done!

 

they dont stock them and they want 22 dollars vs 8 dollars from ecs go figure anyways how many quarts of oil does the tranny take im 90% sure 4 will do it but idk and dont have a manual yet it will be here tomm...

 

LOL I saw this exact same thread somewhere else recently...with the exact same question and exact picture (well not the exact picture but you get my drift) Apparently this little hole confuses a lot of people.

 

I had a guy help me top off my tranny oil once in my 4000, he dumped about a quart of oil down that hole thinking that was the fill. Most ran out the bottom fortunately, but still a PITA for a while.

 

damn ur clutch must have beed screwy as hell for a while until the oil wore off it lmao thats almost as funny as the port polish thread in the offtopic section lol i read that for the first time today lmao anyways does any one know how much oil our trannys take?
