Clutch, Sachs

Clutch, Sachs

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Retainer (3067)

• Centering mandrel (T10097)

• Torque wrench (V.A.G 1331)

• Grease for clutch plate splines (G 000 100)

Removing

- Remove transmission --> [ Transmission, Removing ] Transmission, Removing.

- Insert flywheel retainer (3067) to loosen bolts.

- Loosen bolts in small stages and in diagonal sequence.





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

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

- Remove pressure plate and clutch plate.

Installing

Installation is in reverse order of removal. Note the following:

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

• If centering sleeves are not installed, shifting difficulties, clutch problems and possibly noise in transmission (loose gear rattling) will occur.

• pressure plate and clutch plate must only be replaced together. Allocate pressure plate and clutch plate via engine code.

Installation Position of Clutch Plate





• Lettering "transmission side" - arrow - and projecting spring cage points toward transmission.

Checking Ends of Diaphragm Spring





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

Check Spring Connections and Rivet Connections





- Check spring connections between pressure plate and cover for tears and rivets for secure fit.

• A pressure plate with damaged spring connections or loose rivets - arrows - must be replaced.

• Replace clutch plates and pressure plates with damaged or loose rivets.

• Pressure plate and clutch plate must be replaced together.

• Allocate clutch plate and pressure plate via engine code.

• If the clutch has burnt out, thoroughly clean the bell housing, flywheel and parts of the engine facing the transmission in order to reduce the smell of burnt linings.

• Clean input shaft splines and (in case of used clutch plates) clean hub splines, remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of lubricant (G 000 100) on splines. Then move clutch plate on input shaft back and forth until hub on shaft moves easily. Always remove excessively applied grease.

• Pressure plates are protected against corrosion and greased. Only the contact surface may be cleaned, otherwise service life of clutch is significantly reduced.

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

- Change over flywheel retainer (3067) when installing.





- Place pressure plate onto alignment pins.

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

- Tighten bolts in small steps and in diagonal sequence to prevent damaging centering holes of the pressure plate and centering pins of dual mass flywheel.
