Clutch, Sachs

Clutch, Sachs

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Flywheel Retainer (3067)

• Centering Mandrel (T10097)

• Grease for Clutch Disc Shaft Splines (G 000 100)

Removing

• Transmission removed. Refer to => [ Transmission, Removing ] Transmission, Removing.

When removing, loosen the bolts as follows, so that the pressure plate does not distort (causing shuddering on acceleration):

- Insert (3067) to loosen bolts.

- Loosen all 6 bolts clockwise, one after the other and in steps of 90° (1/4 turn) until the pressure plate is free.

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






- If stop does not loosen: Press pin in direction of dual mass flywheel.

- Remove the pressure plate and the clutch plate.

Installing

• Tightening specification. Refer to => [ Clutch, Sachs Overview ] Clutch, Sachs Overview.

Install in reverse order, paying attention to the following:

• Dual-mass flywheel, pressure plate and clutch plate are allocated to each other and must not be mixed with other manufacturer's components.

• Always replace the clutch and pressure plates together and allocate them according to the engine code.

• To reduce odor caused by a burnt clutch, thoroughly clean the clutch housing, the flywheel and the side of the engine facing toward the transmission.

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

• Pressure plates are corrosion-protected and greased. The pressure plate may not be cleaned, with the exception of the friction surface on the clutch plate. Otherwise the service life of the clutch will be greatly reduced.

• The friction surfaces on the pressure plate and the dual mass flywheel must be cleaned thoroughly. The must be no grease.

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

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

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

Installation Position of Clutch Plate





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

Checking Ends of the Diaphragm Spring





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

Checking Spring Connections and Rivet Connections





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

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

- insert (3067).






- Position the pressure plate on the alignment pins.

- To center the clutch plate, use the (T10097).

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

- Make sure that the stop pin (locator) - arrow - can be moved easily.






- Screw in all 6 bolts evenly, by hand, until the bolt heads contact the pressure plate.

- Tighten all 6 bolts clockwise, one after the other and in steps of 90° (1/4 turn) until the housing contacts the flywheel.

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

- Tighten all 6 bolts clockwise, one after the other to tightening specification. Tightening specification - item 4 - => [ (Item 4) Bolt ] Clutch, Sachs Overview.

- Install transmission. Refer to => [ Transmission, Installing ] Transmission, Installing.
