Installation
Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse sequence; note the following:
  Note
t  Replace clutch plates and pressure disk with damaged or loose riveted joints.
t  The pressure disks and the clutch plate must always be replaced together.
t  Select the correct clutch plate and pressure plate according to engine code → Electronic parts catalogue.
t  To reduce the unpleasant smells of a burnt clutch, the clutch bell-housing must be thoroughly cleaned, along with the flywheel and engine at the side facing the clutch.
t  Clean the input shaft grooves, and if the clutch plates are worn, also those of the hub; eliminate corrosion and apply a very fine layer of approved lubricating grease to the grooves → Spare parts catalogue. Then, move the clutch plate on the input shaft from side to side, until the hub moves smoothly on the shaft. Always remove excess 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 can the securing bolts be inserted.
–  Pay special attention to the clutch plate installation position:
   
l  The inscription „Getriebeseite“ should face the gearbox
Remove -T20176-the assembly tool from gear selector mechanism.
–  Insert the pressure plate in its guides.

–  To fit the clutch plate, use the centring guide -U 10050/A- and the adaptor -U-10050/T-.
–  Screw in equally all of the bolts by had until the heads press on the pressure disk.
–  Tighten the bolts diagonally in small steps, so as to avoid damaging centring holes of clutch press and guides of flywheel. Tightening torque → Item
–  Install gearbox → Chapter.
