  Note
t  Renew clutch plates and pressure plates with damaged or loose rivet connections.
t  Renew pressure plate and clutch plate together only.
t  Select clutch plate and pressure plate according to engine code and → Electronic Parts Catalogue (ETKA).
t  Clean input shaft splines and, on used clutch plate, hub splines. Remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coat of clutch plate spline grease -G 000 100- to splines. Then move clutch plate to and fro on input shaft until hub moves freely on shaft. Remove excessive grease.
t  Pressure plates are protected against corrosion and greased. Clean contact surface only. Otherwise, the service life of the clutch will be considerably reduced.
t  Pressure plate contact surface and clutch plate lining must make full contact with flywheel. Only then insert securing bolts.
t  The dowel sleeves for aligning engine and gearbox must be in cylinder block, install if necessary.
t  If dowel sleeves are not fitted, difficulties shifting gears, clutch problems and possible noises from the gearbox (rattling of gears which are not engaged) could occur.
