Removing and installing clutch Special tools and workshop equipment required

t  Counterhold tool -3067-

t  Centring mandrel -3190 A-

t  Centring mandrel -T10086- → Fig. t  Grease for clutch plate splines -G 000 100-

Removing l  Gearbox removed –  Apply counter-hold tool -3067- in order to loosen bolts. –  Loosen bolts in small steps and in diagonal sequence. –  Take off clutch pressure plate and clutch plate. Installing Installation is carried out in reverse sequence; note the following: l  Tightening torque → Item   Note t  Observe notes → Chapter.

t  Important: different diameters -arrow- in crankshaft! t  For engines with smaller centring diameter in crankshaft -arrow- or engines with needle bearing -arrow- in crankshaft: use centring mandrel -T10086- → Fig.. t  For engines with larger centring diameter in crankshaft -arrow-: use centring mandrel -3190 A- → Fig..

t  Installation position of clutch plate: protruding spring cage / marking „Getriebeseite“ (gearbox side), if provided, faces towards pressure plate. t  Clutch pressure plate friction surface and clutch plate lining must make full contact with flywheel. Only then insert bolts. t  Check that dowel sleeves for centralising engine/gearbox are in the cylinder block; install if necessary. t  If the dowel sleeves are not fitted, this will lead to gear-change problems, clutch malfunction and in some cases gearbox noise (gears will make rattling noises).

Crankshaft with large centring diameter –  Reverse position of counter-hold tool -3067- when installing. –  Position clutch pressure plate on dowel pins. –  Use centring mandrel -3190 A- to centralise clutch plate. –  Screw in all 6 bolts evenly by hand until bolt heads make contact with clutch pressure plate. –  Tighten bolts in small steps and in diagonal sequence to avoid damaging centring holes in pressure plate and dowel pins on flywheel.
