t  Support bridge -T10323-

t  -T10356/5- from assembly tool -T10356-

t  Extractor -T10373-

t  pressure tool -T10376- Installing   Note Replace all bolts tightened with further tightening angle.   Caution Risk of damage to the clutch and other components! The positions of the engagement bearings must be adjusted correctly. Adjustment can only be carried out before the clutch is installed. The position of the engagement bearings must be adjusted in the following cases: t  Clutch has been renewed. t  Engaging levers were renewed. t  Retainer of engaging levers was renewed. t  Engagement bearings were renewed. If you have performed any of the above work, you must now adjust the position of engagement bearings „K 1 and K 2“ → Chapter. Do not continue assembly unless the adjustment is correct! If no new parts have been installed, insert removed shims. For adjustment, only one shim per engagement bearing may be installed. Clutch components must be free of oil and grease when installing!

Hinge mounting -1- and ball stud -2- have been installed.   Note The upper section of bushing cannot be removed or installed alone. It is always removed or installed together with lower section of bushing and »small« engagement lever. The following work is only necessary if all the named parts have merely been removed and reinstalled.

–  Install »small« engagement lever together with upper and lower section of bushing. Insert and tighten new bolts. Tightening torque → Anchor Continuation for all vehicles:

–  Insert »large« engaging lever with measured shims for „K 1“ and „K 2“ and with small engagement bearing.   Note t  The large shim is inserted into the large engagement bearing, with the hemispherical side of the shim facing downwards. t  The small shim goes under the small engagement bearing. Therefore, insert shim first.

The shim and the small engagement bearing only fit in one position due to the 8 grooves. –  By turning, check that parts have been installed correctly and that grooves are seated correctly. –  Check both engaging levers are seated correctly. –  Turn back spindle of puller -T10373-.   Caution Risk of damage from clutch adjustment device. The clutch is self-adjusting. As the re-adjustment can be influenced by every gear change jerk, care should be taken that the clutch does not fall onto the gearbox during installation.

–  Install clutch with puller -T10373- in gearbox, as shown in diagram.

–  Position support bracket -T10323- parallel to gearbox flange as shown in illustration. –  If necessary, balance out gaps using -T10356/5- from assembly tool -T10356-, for example. –  Screw in bolts -A- hand-tight.   Note Secure bolts -A- with nuts as required. –  Press on clutch as far as it will go.   Note One hand must be placed on the clutch when mounting. A slight »rattling« will be felt. Rattling indicates that the clutch is being pressed onto its press seat. This also enables detection of the limit stop once the clutch has been seated correctly.

–  Take hold of new retaining ring with retaining ring pliers, as shown in the illustration. l  Installation position: with the top gap of the circlip facing upwards.

–  Insert circlip -arrow-.   Note If the retaining ring cannot be inserted, the clutch has not been pressed in onto its limit stop.

–  To ensure that the clutch reaches its operating position right from this stage, turn it against puller -T10373--arrow- by hand without using any other tools.   Note t  By pressing on, the clutch sits at the bottom against the limit stop on the input shaft. This is not the optimum position.

t  Clutch should only be pulled up far enough for it to contact retaining ring.   Note Only turn by hand. In this way, clutch slides against retaining ring. Do not use any other tool.

–  Insert hub. l  Hub has »large tooth«-arrow- and only fits in one position. l  »Large tooth« has a mark at engine end.

–  Insert retaining ring -arrow- of hub. l  Joint of retaining ring must point towards »hub« of clutch.

–  Turn clutch by hand. It should be possible to turn it without difficulty.   Note t  If the clutch is difficult to turn or if the clutch lining is being rubbed hard, remove clutch again → Chapter.

t  Check installation position of shims -arrows-. t  The shims must be properly seated and undamaged → Chapter. t  A mathematical error could have been made. Check measurements again → Chapter t  If no error has been made, the clutch may have been moved out of position due to transport/assembly and a new clutch now has to be installed. The position of the engagement bearings must then be readjusted → Chapter.

–  Remove two plugs and put breather caps -arrows-on.   WARNING The breather cap on the mechatronic unit is destroyed during removal and must be renewed. –  Dispose of excess shims. –  After installation of gearbox, perform Complete reset by means of Guided functions → Vehicle diagnostic tester.
