Pressure Plate: Procedures
Resetting adjuster ring in SAC clutch pressure plate, 0A3, 6-Speed All Wheel Drive M/T
Note:
^
"SAC" stands for "Self-Adjusting Clutch".
^
When fitting a new clutch plate in conjunction 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 you do not reset the adjuster ring in the pressure plate, the SAC pressure plate will operate with reduced clamping force,
which will cause excessive wear, especially of the clutch plate (clutch will then slip).
^
If the clutch plate is not 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.
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Press tool VW412
