t  Torque wrench -V.A.G 1331-
t  Centring mandrel -3190 A-
t  Grease for clutch plate splines -G 000 100-

   
l  Remove gearbox.
  Note
t  Check whether dowel sleeves for aligning engine and gearbox are fitted in cylinder block and install if necessary.

1 - Flywheel
q   Ensure that centring pins fit tightly
q   Contact surface for clutch lining must be free of grooves, oil and grease
q   Removing and installing → Rep. gr.13
2 - Clutch plate
q   Allocation → Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA)
q   Installation position with two-part flywheel: shorter end of hub faces pressure plate.
q   Text „Getriebeseite“ (gearbox side) always faces pressure plate and gearbox
q   Installation position with single piece flywheel: spring cage faces pressure plate
q   Centring → Fig.
q   Lightly grease splines
  Note
Clean input shaft splines and, on used clutch plates, hub splines; remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coat of grease for clutch plate splines -G 000 100- to the input shaft splines. Then move clutch plate to and fro on input shaft until hub moves freely on shaft. Remove excessive grease.
3 - Pressure plate

q   Check ends of diaphragm spring → Fig.
  Note
Pressure plates are protected against corrosion and greased. Clean contact surface only; otherwise the service life of the clutch will be considerably reduced.
