Clutch, Sachs

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Flywheel Retainer (3067)

• Centering Pin (T10097)

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

• Centering Mandrel (3176) (For engines which have a crankshaft with a smaller diameter, or engines with a needle bearing in the crankshaft, refer to => [ Centering the clutch disc, removing and installing the pressure plate on engines with a crankshaft with a smaller diameter, or engines with a needle bearing in the crankshaft: ] )

• Grease for Clutch Plate Splines (G 000 100)

Removing

- Remove the transmission.

- Use the flywheel retainer (3067) to loosen the bolts.

- Loosen the bolt diagonally and in small steps.






• When loosening, the stop - 2 - and the bolt - 1 - must loosen up together.

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

- Remove the pressure plate and the clutch disc.

Installing

Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal while observing the following:

• Allocate the pressure plate and the clutch disc to match the engine code. Refer to the Parts Catalog.

• Make sure the alignment pins for centering the engine/transmission are installed inside the cylinder block. Install them if necessary.

• If the alignment pins are missing, it will be difficult to shift, there will be clutch problems and the transmission may make noises (loose rattling).

Clutch Disc Installed Position





• "Getriebeseite" (transmission side) and the spring cage face the transmission.

Checking the Ends of the Diaphragm Spring





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

Checking the Spring and Rivet Connections





- Check the spring connections between the pressure plate and the cover for cracks and make sure the rivet connections are tight.

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

• Replace the clutch disc and pressure plate if the rivets are damaged or loose.

• Allocate the clutch disc and pressure plate to match the engine code. Refer to the Parts Catalog.

• Clean the input shaft splines and (on a used clutch disc) the hub splines, remove corrosion and apply a very thin coating of grease for clutch plate splines (G 000 100) to the splines. Then move the clutch disc back and forth on the input shaft until the hub moves freely on the shaft. Remove any excess grease.

• The pressure plate is corrosion protected and lubricated. Only the running surfaces may be cleaned. Otherwise the service life of the clutch will be shortened considerably.

• The pressure plate contact surface and the clutch disc lining must completely touch the flywheel. Install the bolts.

- Install the flywheel retainer (3067).






Engines having a crankshaft with a smaller diameter - arrow -, or engines having a needle bearing - arrow - in the crankshaft:





Centering the clutch disc, removing and installing the pressure plate on engines with a crankshaft with a smaller diameter, or engines with a needle bearing in the crankshaft:





• Ignore arrows - A and B -.

Continuation for all:

When installing, tighten bolts as follows so the pressure plate does not distort (causing shuddering on acceleration):






- Make sure the stop pin (position sensor) - arrow - moves easily.

- Install the pressure plate on the centering pins.

- Install all bolts evenly, by hand, until the bolt heads touch the pressure plate.

• When doing this, the stop pin - arrow - must lift off from the pressure plate.

- Tighten the bolts 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. For the tightening specifications, refer to - item 4 - in => [ Clutch Overview, Sachs ] Clutch Overview, Sachs.

- Install the transmission.
