Pulls and realigns the wet twin-clutch pack on VW and Audi DQ250, DQ380, DQ381 and DQ500 DSG gearboxes so you can replace the leaking input shaft seals.
If you are pulling the wet twin-clutch pack off a VW GTI, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan or Audi A3 with the six-speed 02E DSG, or off one of the seven-speed wet boxes, this is the kit that does it without a pry bar. It is built for the DQ250 (02E), DQ380 and DQ381 (0DW, 0DE) and DQ500 (0BH) gearboxes, and it stands in for the dealer tools T10055, T10303, T10524, T10525 and 3438. It exists for the jobs that start with the clutch coming off: input shaft seal leaks, worn clutch packs and judder, and setting clutch clearance on reassembly.
In the 02E, Volkswagen stacks two wet multi-plate clutches in one assembly. Clutch K1 is the outer clutch and drives input shaft 1 for 1st, 3rd, 5th and reverse; clutch K2 drives the hollow input shaft 2 for 2nd, 4th and 6th. Both outer plate carriers are joined to one main hub, and the dual-mass flywheel drives that hub through splines. Each clutch is splined to its own shaft, and the two shafts run one inside the other. That is why the pack has to come straight off: if it cocks while you pull it, the splines and the sealing surfaces on the concentric shafts take the damage. The puller plates in this kit grip the carrier squarely and draw it off along the shaft axis, and the installer sleeve presses it back on the same way.
Pull codes and adaptation data first, then check the fluid level and condition. Transmission Digest notes that wet-clutch DSG fluid lubricates the gear set, cools the clutches and serves as the hydraulic fluid, so dirty or low fluid causes many of the same complaints a worn clutch does. Rule out a missed fluid service and a pressure problem before you split the engine from the gearbox. Our DQ250 mechatronic and clutch problems guide walks through telling a clutch fault from a mechatronic fault, and the DSG pressure testing guide covers the hydraulic checks.
The kit covers the wet-clutch VW Group gearboxes: DQ250 (02E six-speed), DQ380 and DQ381 (0DW, 0DE seven-speed) and DQ500 (0BH seven-speed). It is not for the dry-clutch 0AM / DQ200, which uses its own tooling, and it is not for the longitudinal Audi 0B5. Check the gearbox code on the case label or in your scan tool before ordering. Send us your year and VIN if you want us to confirm it. You can browse the rest of our dual-clutch parts on the DSG collection page.
If the pack is worn, pair this kit with the DQ250 master rebuild kit or the 02E clutch pack cover so the box only comes apart once.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. The DQ200 (0AM) uses a dry twin clutch with different tooling. This kit is for the wet-clutch DQ250, DQ380, DQ381 and DQ500 gearboxes.
The listing names T10055, T10303, T10524, T10525 and 3438. It covers removing and installing the wet twin-clutch assembly and checking clearance with the included dial indicator.
Yes. On these gearboxes the input shaft seals sit behind the twin-clutch pack, so the pack has to come off first, and that is the main job this kit was made for.
Clutch clearance and end play have to be checked on reassembly. The digital indicator reads 0 to 25.4 mm in 0.01 mm steps, so you measure instead of guessing at shim thickness.
Refill with the correct DSG fluid to the specified level and run the clutch adaptation and basic settings with a VW-capable scan tool before the road test.
