→ Fig.1    Removing and installing clutch

• ‒ Installation position of clutch plate: Dampers (coil springs) or "gearbox end" label must face pressure plate or gearbox.
• ‒ On installation, make sure white coloured dot -A- of dual-mass flywheel is aligned with white coloured dot -B- of pressure plate.
• ‒ Slacken off/tighten bolts gradually and in diagonal sequence (25 Nm).
• ‒ Re-position counterhold 10-201 when removing.
• ‒ Use guide mandrel 3176 to centre clutch plate.

Notes:

• ◆ Pressure plate contact surface and clutch plate lining must make full contact with flywheel. Only then are bolts to be fitted.
• ◆ Tighten bolts evenly, diagonally and in small steps so as not to damage centring holes in pressure plate and centring pins of flywheel.

→ Fig.2    Checking ends of diaphragm spring

• ◆ Wear down to half diaphragm spring thickness is permitted

Note:

When performing repairs, always assign clutch pressure plate and clutch plate by way of engine code in line with Parts List.

→ Fig.3    Checking spring connection and riveted joints

• ‒ Check spring connection between pressure plate and cover for cracks and riveted joints for firm attachment.
• ‒ Replace clutches with damaged springs or loose riveted joints
