A quick look at the history of this transmission. In 1990, Volkswagen introduced the 096 transaxle in the Corrado and Passat models. In 1992 the 098 transmission was introduced in the Eurovan. In 1995 Audi introduced the 097 transmission.

All three of these transmissions use the same valve body. In 1995 Volkswagen changed the design of these transmissions, thus the name change. The 096 became the 01M. The 097 became the 01N. The 098 became the 01P.

Valve Body Quick ID

The 096/097/098 can be ID'ed by a kidney shaped filter hole at the bottom of the valve body. The 01M/01N/01P can be identified by a round filter hole at the bottom of the valve body. Please see photos below.



There have been three different 01M/N/P valve bodies over the years. The 1995-1996 01M/N/P can be identified by the plastic end plug at the K1 actuator valve(See Figure 1). The 1997-1998 and the 1999 and UP valve bodies have an aluminum end plug at the K1 actuator valve(See Figure 2).




The only way to accurately identify the valve body is to remove the upper separator plate and look for the last two
digits of the year cast into the valve body, or ID the worm track configuration(See Figure 3.1 and 3.2).

                                                         (Figure 3.1)

                                                      (Figure 3.2)




CAUTION! PLEASE BE AWARE: DO NOT ASSUME the year cast into the bottom aluminum
cover is the correct year! ALL 01M/N/P covers, regardless of model year, will fit and operate
correctly on any 01M/N/P Valve Body. Our remanufactured 01M/N/P valve bodies WILL have
the correct year bottom cover.

Tiptronic vs. Non-Tiptronic Identification

Most Volkswagen's in the United States that use the 01M/N/P transmission are Non-Tiptronic,
however, there is a Tiptronic version of this transmission that is used in other parts of the world.

The Tiptronic Version of the 01M/N/P has different separator plates and the casting is also different.

The Tiptronic and the Non-Tiptronic Versions are NOT interchangeable.

As an assembly, both styles look very much alike, even side-by-side. On the opposite side of the valve
body from the EV-6 and DV-7 Solenoids, there are 3 valve bores. Please review the photos below to
determine which style 01M/N/P you require.

 





PLEASE NOTE: We remanufacture all years of the Non-Tiptronic Style. If you require a Tiptronic
style, we can remanufacture it for you on an R&R basis. Please contact us for a quote.


Lastly, please see the below important procedure for when you replace the valve body.
