Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
^ Flywheel retainer 10-201





^ Thrust pad 30 62





^ Centering mandrel 3176
^ Grease G 000 100

Notes
^ Observe general repair notes, Refer to Manual Transaxle, Service and Repair.
^ For vehicles with V6 2. 7 L-Bi turbo engine, a SAC-clutch plate (self adjusting clutch plate) is installed, on which an adjustment ring must be reset except during replacement.
^ Replace clutch plates and pressure plates with damaged or loose rivets.
^ Select the correct clutch plate and pressure plate according to engine code:
^ Refer to Parts Supplier
^ Clean input shaft and (in the case of used clutch plates) the hub splines. Remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of grease G 000 100 to the splines. Then move clutch plate to and fro on input shaft until hub moves freely on shaft.. Excess grease must be removed.
^ Pressure plates have an anticorrosion coating and are greased. Only the contact surface may be cleaned, otherwise the service life of the clutch will be considerably reduced.
^ If the clutch has burned out, thoroughly clean the bellhousing, flywheel and parts of the engine facing the transmission to reduce the smell of burned linings.
