Clutch, Sachs

For the correct clutch, refer to the Parts Catalog.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Flywheel Retainer (3067)

• Centering Drift (T10372)

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

• On engines which have a crankshaft with a smaller diameter, or engines with a needle bearing in the crankshaft - => [ Engines having a crankshaft with a smaller diameter, or engines having a needle bearing in the crankshaft ].

• Centering Mandrel (3434) => [ 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. Refer to => [ Transmission, Removing ] Transmission, Removing.

- Install 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

Install in reverse order of removal. Note the following:

• Allocate the pressure plate and the clutch disc according to the engine code.

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

• If the alignment bushings are missing, it will be difficult to shift, there will be clutch problems and 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.

- Remove the flywheel retainer (3067) when installing.

Continuation for all Vehicles

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






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

- Position the pressure plate on the alignment pins.

- Install all the bolts evenly, by hand, until the bolt heads contact 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.
