| t
| Clean input shaft splines and (in the case of used clutch plates) the hub splines. Remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of grease for clutch plate splines -G 000 100- to the splines. Then move clutch plate backwards and forwards on input shaft until hub moves freely on shaft. It is important to remove excess grease. |
| t
| Clutch pressure plates have an anti-corrosion coating and are greased. Only the contact surface may be cleaned, otherwise the service life of the clutch will be considerably reduced. |
| t
| The friction surface of the pressure plate and the dual-mass flywheel must be cleaned (degreased) thoroughly. |
| t
| Only blow out dual-mass flywheel with compressed air. |
| t
| If the clutch has burnt out, thoroughly clean the gearbox housing in area of clutch and parts of the engine facing the gearbox in order to prevent odours. |
