OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi transmission crossmember bolt, part number N-912-097-01. This fastener secures the crossmember at its assigned mounting point in the transmission support assembly. The crossmember supports the transmission mount and holds the assembly in its designed relationship to the vehicle body. Correct mounting hardware helps maintain the required clamping connection.

Common reasons to replace
Replace a fastener with a rounded drive recess, damaged threads, corrosion affecting its seating surface or visible deformation. Transmission mount replacement and crossmember removal also require checking the repair instructions for bolt renewal. Previously incorrect hardware should be replaced with the part specified for that exact location.
Unusual driveline movement or noise can originate from a deteriorated mount, loose connection or damaged support component. Inspect the complete assembly before deciding that a bolt alone will correct the problem. A new fastener cannot restore stripped mating threads or a cracked crossmember.
Installation and service notes
Support the transmission and crossmember using the equipment and procedure specified for the vehicle before loosening their mounting connections. Inspect the mounting holes, threaded attachment points and seating surfaces, then compare the removed hardware with the required part number. Preserve the mounting orientation and reinstall any alignment features as directed.
Use the correct internal multi-point bit fully seated in the head. Follow the vehicle repair procedure for fastener replacement, tightening sequence, torque and any angle-tightening step. Do not apply a universal torque or add thread treatment without the repair instructions. Confirm that the mount and support assembly are correctly positioned before completing the repair.
