01M Clutch Module, new and ready to install. Fits the 01M. Ships fast from the USA.
If the 01M four-speed in your Jetta, Golf, New Beetle or early Passat now slips on the 2-3 shift, flares when warm or throws a gear ratio fault after a hard pull, the friction material is often what wore out. This 01M friction module is the complete set of lined clutch plates for the transmission, part number 75119A, listed for 01M, 01N and 01P units from late 1994 on. It is new, and it covers the frictions only: steels, seals and pistons are separate.
The 01M is a transverse front-drive four-speed that VW shares in design with the 01N used in longitudinal Audis and the 01P in the Eurovan and Transporter. It shifts by applying multi-plate clutches and brakes with oil pressure from a solenoid-controlled valve body. Each lined friction plate locks against a steel plate when its piston applies; when the lining glazes or burns, that pack slips, the controller sees the wrong ratio, and shift quality falls apart. A friction module replaces every lined plate at once so all the packs share fresh, matched material.
Not every 01M fault is worn friction material. A corroded connector or weak speed sensor signal drops the unit into limp mode in third gear with every gear lit on the dash, and that has nothing to do with the clutches. Scan the transmission controller with a VW-capable tool, check the wiring and sensors, and look at the fluid. If 00652 returns with good wiring and the fluid is dark with debris, the packs are worn. Our flare versus slip guide and slipping diagnosis guide walk through the checks.
Listed for the 01M, 01N and 01P (late 1994 and later). On the 01M that covers 1995-2006 Golf and Jetta, the 1998-2005 New Beetle and the 1995-1997 Passat. The 1998-up Passat uses a different transmission, the 01V, so it does not take this module. Read the three-letter code stamped above the starter flange and the transmission family on the case, and match the plate count to your old packs when you tear down. If you are unsure, send us your year, model and VIN before ordering. All of our VW and Ford rebuild parts are listed under rebuild kits.

No. It is a friction module, so it contains the lined clutch plates only. Reuse steels that are flat and unblued, or replace them, and pair it with an overhaul seal kit.
No. The 1998 and later Passat uses the 01V five-speed. This module is for the 01M, 01N and 01P four-speed family.
VW G 052 162 A2 or an approved equivalent in the transmission, checked at the overflow plug with the engine running and the fluid warm. The final drive takes separate gear oil.
Yes. Clear the transmission adaptations and run the basic setting procedure with a VW-capable scan tool so the controller learns the new clutch apply times.
Usually not. Third-gear limp with all gears shown on the dash points to a wiring or speed sensor fault, so check the connectors and sensors first.
