Clutch, Sachs

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Flywheel Retainer (3067)

• Centering Pin (T10097)

• Centering Mandrel (3176), for engines which have a crankshaft with a smaller diameter, or engines with a needle bearing in the crankshaft, refer to.

• Torque Wrench (5-50 Nm) (V.A.G 1331)

• Grease (G 000 100)

Removing

• Remove the transmission.

- Install the (3067) to loosen the bolts.

- Loosen the bolts in small stages in a diagonal sequence.





• When removing, the stop - 2 - must loosen together with the pin - 1 -.

- If the stop does not loosen: push the bolt toward the dual mass flywheel.

- Remove the pressure plate and the clutch plate.

Installing

Install in reverse sequence; note the following points:

• Allocate the pressure plate and clutch plate via the engine code, refer to the parts catalog.

• Make sure the centering sleeves for the engine to transmission are installed in the cylinder block, install if necessary.

• If the alignment sleeves are not installed, difficulty in shifting, clutch problems and possibly noises from the transmission (loose gear chatter) may develop.

Clutch Plate Installed Position





• The mark "Getriebeseite" (transmission side) and the projecting spring cage faces toward the transmission.

Checking Ends of the Diaphragm Spring





• Wear up to half the thickness of the diaphragm spring - arrows - is permitted.

Checking Spring and Rivet Connections





- Check the spring connections between the pressure plate and cover for cracks, and check the rivet connections for secure fit.

• Replace the pressure plate if the spring ends are damaged or the rivet connections - arrows - are loose.

• Replace the clutch plate and pressure plate with damaged or loose rivets.

• Allocate the clutch plate and pressure plate via the engine code, refer to the parts catalog.

• Clean the input shaft splines and (in the case of a used clutch plate) clean the hub splines, remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of grease (G 000 100) on the splines. Then move the clutch plate back and forth on the input shaft until the hub moves freely on the shaft. Excess grease must be removed.

• Pressure plates are corrosion protected and greased. Only the contact surfaces may be cleaned, otherwise the service life of the clutch will be considerably reduced.

• The pressure plate contact surface and clutch plate lining must make full contact with the flywheel. Only then may the bolts be installed.

- Reposition the (3067) for installation.

• Ignore - arrows A and B -.

Continuation for All

- Position the pressure plate on the alignment pins.

- Install all bolts uniformly by hand until the bolt heads make contact with the thrust plate.

- Tighten the bolts - item 4 -=> [ Bolt ] Clutch Overview, Sachs in small steps and in a diagonal sequence to prevent damaging the centering holes of the pressure plate and the centering pins of the dual mass flywheel.

• Install the transmission.
