Fitting
Fitting
Installation is carried out in the reverse order; noting the following:
  Note
t  Replace clutch plates and pressure disks with damaged or loose riveted unions.
t  The pressure disks and the clutch plate must always be replaced together.
t  Select clutch disk and pressure disk according to engine code → 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 gearbox.
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 → 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  The pressure disks come with corrosion protection and are greased. Only the contact surface must be cleaned; otherwise the working life of the clutch will be considerably reduced.
t  The pressure disk and clutch plate lining contact surface should be completely pressed against the 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.
Use the holding tool -T20176- to lock the flywheel.
–  Insert the pressure disk onto the 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 bolts diagonally in small steps and diagonally, so as to avoid damaging centring holes of pressure disk and centring pins of the dual mass flywheel. Tightening torque → Item.
–  Install gearbox → Chapter.
