09G Clutch Drum, used and ready to install. Fits the 09G. Ships fast from the USA.
When a VW Jetta, Passat, Beetle or Tiguan with the 09G automatic drives fine in the low gears but flares on the 3-4 shift, drops into neutral momentarily going into fourth, or slips in the top three gears, the K2 clutch is the usual suspect. This is a used OEM 09G (Aisin TF-60SN) K2 clutch drum, supplied loaded with its piston, as shown in the photo with the shaft in place.
The 09G gets six speeds from three clutches and two brakes. In the Sonnax TF-60SN application chart, K2 is applied in fourth, fifth and sixth gear, working with K1 in fourth, K3 in fifth and B1 in sixth. That makes the 3-4 upshift the moment K2 first takes torque, and Sonnax ties 3-4 flare, a 3-4 bump and a 3-4 neutral condition to the K2 circuit. The drum houses the K2 friction pack and the apply piston that clamps it. Wear on its sealing surfaces, a leaking piston or a damaged drum lets apply pressure bleed off, and the clutch then slips every time the car cruises in its top gears.
Sonnax points out that on this family a sticking or worn clutch control valve can cause the same 3-4 flare as a mechanical fault, and the solenoids are pulsed off to apply their clutch, so a scan tool and pressure check come first. Read codes, watch the commanded gear against actual ratio, and test pressure; our Aisin harsh and delayed shift guide and pressure testing guide show how. If the circuit holds pressure and the flare persists only on K2 shifts, air-check the K2 piston with the unit apart. A piston that will not hold air, or a drum with scored ring lands, means the drum is due.
This drum is for the 09G TF-60SN six-speed used in VW and Audi front-drive cars; the same Aisin family is also coded 09K and 09M. The listing identifies it as the K2 drum loaded with its piston, and its part number field is not specific, so compare it carefully with your old drum: hub spline count, shaft length, piston style and the number of frictions it holds. Sonnax cautions that early and late TF-60SN units use different internal parts. If you are unsure, send your year and VIN or a photo of your drum and we will confirm. The K1 drum for this unit is listed separately as the 09G K1 clutch drum, and other parts for this transmission are on the Aisin parts page.
Being used, this drum should be inspected and air-checked on the bench before it goes in. Replace the K2 frictions, steels and seals with fresh parts from the 09G master rebuild kit, soak the frictions, and set clearance to spec. Check the sealing rings and their grooves for wear. Replace the filter and pan gasket, refill with ATF meeting VW G 055 025, and set the level at the check plug with the engine running and the fluid in its specified temperature window. A 09G service kit with ATF covers the filter, gasket and fluid together. Clear adaptations and perform a relearn drive afterwards, as covered in our adaptive relearn guide, so the TCM learns the new K2 fill time.

Fourth, fifth and sixth. It first applies on the 3-4 upshift, so 3-4 flare is the classic K2 complaint.
Yes, it is supplied loaded with its piston, as pictured. Plan to replace the frictions, steels and seals during installation.
No, it is a used OEM part. Inspect it and air-check the piston before installing.
It fits the 09G TF-60SN six-speed. Early and late units differ internally, so compare spline count, shaft and piston style with your old drum, or send your VIN and we will confirm.
Yes. Clear adaptations and perform a relearn drive so the TCM learns K2 fill and apply timing for the rebuilt clutch.
