Clutch, Sachs

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Flywheel Retainer (3067)

• Centering Mandrel (3190 A)

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

• Grease for Clutch Splines (G 000 100)

Removing

- Remove the transmission.

- Using (3067), loosen the clutch bolts.

- Loosen the bolts 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 plate.

Installing

Install in reverse order of removal.

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

• Make sure the alignment pins for centering the engine/transmission are installed inside the cylinder block. Install them if necessary.

• If the alignment pins are missing, it will be difficult to shift, there will be clutch problems and transmission may make noises (loose rattling).

Clutch Plate, Installed Position





• "Getriebeseite" (transmission side) faces 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 clutch plate and pressure plate if the rivets are damaged or loose.

• Always replace the pressure plate and the clutch plate together.

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

• To reduce odor caused by a burnt clutch, thoroughly clean the clutch housing, the flywheel and the side of the engine facing toward the transmission.

• Clean the input shaft splines and (on used clutch plates) the hub splines. Remove any corrosion and apply a very thin coating of grease for clutch splines (G 000 100) on the splines. Then move clutch plate back and forth on the transmission input shaft until the hub moves freely on the shaft. Remove any excess lubricant.

• The pressure plate is corrosion-protected and greased. Only the running surfaces may be cleaned, otherwise the service life of the clutch will be shortened considerably.

• The pressure plate contact surface and the clutch plate lining must completely touch the flywheel. Install the bolts.

- Install the (3067).





- Mount the pressure plate on the alignment pins.

- Use the (3190 A) to center the clutch plate.

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