^
"SAC" stands for Self-Adjusting-Clutch
^
When fitting a new clutch plate together with a used SAC pressure plate, the adjuster ring in the pressure plate has to be reset by turning it back as
far as it will go. If this is not done, the SAC pressure plate will operate with reduced clamping force, which will cause clutch slip and excessive
wear (especially of the clutch plate). This adjustment is only required when fitting a new clutch plate together with a used SAC pressure plate, as
above.
^
If the clutch plate is not being replaced, it is not necessary to reset the adjuster ring.
^
New SAC pressure plates are pre-set accordingly, and do not have to be reset.
-
Insert 3 securing bolts -A- into mounting holes on pressure plate, 120° from each other (1/3 turn), as shown in illustration.
^
Thread 3 nuts -B- (M8) onto bolts -A and tighten nuts slightly.
-
Place SAC pressure plate onto press so that only the 3 bolt heads (arrows) make contact.
-
Position special tool 3062 in center of pressure plate.
