- Press plate spring down under shop press using installation bracket (T10276).





- Remove split retaining ring - 1 -.

- Release shop press.

- Remove dished washer.

- Press ring - 2 - with O-ring - 3 - out of cylinder "A" - 1 -.





CAUTION!
Wear eye protection.

- Carefully press piston "A" out of cylinder " A" with compressed air, to do so plug two other oil bores using fingers.





Assembling

CAUTION!
Before assembling, check clutch components "A" for wear and damage => [ Clutch A ] Clutch A.

- Replace O-rings - 2 - (green), - 3 - (black) and - 5 - (black) for piston "A" - 4 -.





- Press piston "A" - 4 - into cylinder " A" - 1 - as far as stop.

Bent inner side at right angle of retaining ring faces downward.

- Release shop press.

- Insert waved washer - 2 - into cylinder "A " - 1 -.





- Install outer plate - 3 - and coated plate - 4 - alternately.

- Install thick outer plate - 5 -.

Ensure rounded edges of thick outer clutch disc faces toward lining disc - 4 - and not toward circlip - 6 -. This improves circlip contact surface.

- Insert circlip - 6 -.

Adjust clutch "A" air gap





- Place clutch "A" on pre-tensioning tool (T10285).

- Place plate (T10293) on outer clutch disc "A".

Plate must not touch circlip all around.

- Insert pressure unit (T10285/1) with centering pin into bore of plate.

- Align clutch "A" on plate of pre-tensioning tool.

The pressure unit must be centrally positioned under spindle thrust piece.

- Turn spindle of pre-tensioning tool downward.

The markings at the inspection hole of the pressure unit must align - arrow -.

- Apply Digital depth gauge (VAS 6087) at upper edge of cylinder "A", as depicted in illustration.

- Apply measuring tongue on outer plate and note measuring value.

- Mark contact point on cylinder "A".

- Repeat measurement at 2 other points of outer plate, 120° offset each, and mark contact points.

- Average over 3 measured values under load.

- Release spindle and remove plate.

- Reach with both hands into clutch "A" and pull plate pack upward until stop.





- When disc pack is pulled up, measure distance between upper edge of cylinder "A" and outer disc (2nd technician required) at one of the marked points.

- Repeat measurement at 2 other marked points of outer plate.

- Average over 3 measured values when pate pack is pulled up.

- Determine air gap on basis of the following calculations:





- Subtract average of measured values when plate pack is pulled up from average of measured values under load.

Clutch "A" air gap - Automatic Transmission 01V Front Wheel Drive





Clutch "A" air gap - Automatic Transmission 01V All Wheel Drive





If specified value is not obtained:

- Determine new circlip - 1 - according to the following table.





Disregard - 2 -.

Air gap too small: Install respectively thinner circlip.

Air gap too large: Install respectively thicker circlip.





- Check air gap of circlip again after inserting.

- Replace O-ring - 3 - on ring - 2 -.





- Press ring into cylinder "A" - 1 - until stop.
