1 - Clutch Pressure Plate

Danger of causing damage to the clutch pressure plate and the dual mass flywheel.

Only remove and install the clutch pressure plate - 1 - when it is tensioned.

Clutch pressure plates that are not tensioned will distort when loosening or tightening the bolts - 2 - and that leads to shuddering when accelerating.

The dual mass flywheel - 3 - must only be supported by the sliding washer - arrow A - when tightening the clutch pressure plate - 1 - in the hydraulic press.

If the dual mass flywheel is supported on the transfer plate - arrow B -, it will distort and be damaged. The dual mass flywheel must then be replaced.

- Position the clutch module so the (VW 510) rests on the sliding washer - arrow A - in the dual mass flywheel.

- Place the assembly tool (T10254/3) on the clutch pressure plate spring tabs - 1 - and press it using the press.

Pressing distance dimension - x - 8 - 9 mm

A second technician is needed for the following step.

- Remove all 6 bolts - 2 - and release the tension on the press.

- Remove the clutch pressure plate - 1 - and clutch disc.
