Clutch, Sachs

Clutch, Sachs

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Flywheel retainer (3067)

• Centering mandrel (3190 A)

• Torque wrench 5 to 50 Nm (V.A.G 1331)

• Grease for clutch disc splines (G 000 100 )

Removing

- Remove transmission => [ Transmission, Removing ] Transmission, Removing.

- Insert flywheel retainer (3067) to loosen bolts.

- Loosen bolts in a diagonal sequence and in stages.





• When removing, stop - 2 - must loosen together with stud - 1 -.

- If stop does not loosen: Press stud in direction of dual-mass flywheel.

- Remove pressure plate and clutch plate.

Installing

Installation is in reverse order of removal. Note the following:

• Pressure plate and clutch plate must only be replaced together. Allocate pressure plate and clutch plate via engine code.

• Make sure alignment sleeves for centering engine/transmission are installed in cylinder block; install if necessary.

• If alignment sleeves are not installed, difficulty in shifting, clutch problems and possibly noises from the transmission (loose gear chatter) may develop.

Installation Position of Clutch Plate





• Marking "Getriebeseite" (transmission side) faces transmission.

Checking Ends of Diaphragm Spring





• Wear up to half the thickness of diaphragm spring - arrow - is permitted.

Check Spring Connections and Rivets





- Check spring connections between pressure plate and cover for cracks and rivets for secure fit.

• A pressure plate with damaged spring connections or loose rivets - arrows - must be replaced.

• Replace clutch plates and pressure plates with damaged or loose rivets.

• Pressure plate and clutch plate must only be replaced together.

• Allocate clutch plate and pressure plate via engine code.

• If the clutch has burnt out, thoroughly clean the bellhousing, flywheel and parts of the engine facing the transmission in order to reduce the smell of burnt clutches.

• Clean input shaft splines and (in case of used clutch plate) clean hub splines, remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of lubricant for clutch plate splines (G 000 100) on splines. Then move clutch plate on input shaft back and forth until hub on shaft moves easily. Always remove excessive applied grease.

• Pressure plates are protected against corrosion and greased. Only the contact surface may be cleaned, otherwise service life of clutch is significantly reduced.

• Contact surface of pressure plate and clutch plate lining must make complete contact on flywheel. Only then insert mounting bolts.

- Reposition flywheel retainer (3067) when installing.





- Place pressure plate onto alignment pins.

- Hand-tighten all bolts evenly by hand until bolt head makes contact on pressure plate.

- Tighten bolts in a diagonal sequence and in small stages to avoid damage to centering holes of pressure plate and centering pins of dual-mass flywheel.

- Install transmission => [ Transmission, Installing ] Transmission, Installing.
