Refitting
- When fitting the engine mounting, gearbox side, to avoid creating stresses on the sealing surfaces between the mounting and the gearbox, resulting in deformation and subsequent oil leak, closely follow the bolt tightening sequence below:
- Tighten bolts (1) and (2) to a preliminary torque di 0.5 daNm;
- Tighten bolts (3) and (4) to a preliminary torque of 0.5 daNm, then tighten to the specified torque;
- Tighten the bolts (1) and (2) to the specified torque.
For the remaining refitting operations, reverse the procedure described for removal. Before fitting the bellhousing in the car, check that the clutch release bearing is positioned correctly on the gearbox mainshaft.
The oil level in the gearbox must be 9 mm below the oil filler plug hole.
