Manual gearbox
The 6-speed manual gearbox has already
proven itself as the basic gearbox for the front-
wheel and four-wheel drives in the engines lon-
gitudinal mounting.
In the Phaeton, it is deployed as the front-wheel
drive gearbox in conjunction with the V6 engine.
In order to maximise convenience of use, actua-
tion by means of a control cable is used instead
of a linkage gearshift. An appropriate support
has been specially developed on the gearbox
housing for the control cable mounting and for
the actuation of the shifter shaft in the gearbox.

The ends of the cable are attached with locknuts
to the steering levers. Mass dampers support the
shifting movements and absorb vibrations.
In order to adjust the control cables, the gear-
shift lever is locked in place in the left neutral
position by the adjustment drift T10027 when the
shift cables are loosened.
A stopping drift is located on the bearing hous-
ing of the shifter shaft end on the gearbox hous-
ing. This is turned to the right in order to secure
the shifter shaft in the left neutral position. The
cable ends can now be attached again.
