| When carefully considered, the term »clutch« is not exactly correct. The clutch of a DSG® comprises always of at least 2 clutches. So the term „multi-clutch“ is more appropriate. In this case, the clutch has 2 sets of plates - making it a wet clutch. The outer, larger set of plates is called „C 1“ (clutch 1). The „C 1“ selects reverse gear and gears »1«, »3« and »5«. The smaller set of plates (on the inside) is designated „K 2“ (clutch 2), and controls the torque flow for gears »2«, »4« and »6«. |
| Any assembly work performed on the multiple clutch requires extra care as all the components are calibrated and matched together in production. If parts are rotated relative to each other during assembly, imbalances develop which are detrimental to ease of shifting and service life. |
| Therefore, genuine clutches are supplied with a built-in retaining ring. |
| To avoid the risk of parts rotating relative to each other, the method of assembling and installing the clutch in the gearbox housing is shown here. Therefore, you should carefully refer to this description → Chapter. |
