| t
| If the vehicle is fitted with a self-adjusting clutch (Sachs version), the clutch plate and pressure plate can only be renewed together → Chapter. |
| t
| On vehicles with SAC pressure plate (self-adjusting clutch) an adjuster ring has to be reset when only the clutch plate is renewed → Chapter. |

| Pressure plates have an anti-corrosion coating and are greased. Only the contact surface may be cleaned, otherwise the service life of the clutch will be considerably reduced. |
| t
| If the clutch has burnt out, thoroughly clean the bell housing, flywheel and parts of the engine facing the gearbox in order to prevent odours. |
