Clutch, Sachs

Removing

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

- Insert flywheel retainer (3067) to loosen bolts.

- Loosen bolts in small stages in diagonal sequence.





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

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

- Remove pressure plate and clutch plate.

Installing

Install in reverse order, paying attention to the following:

• Only replace the pressure plate and clutch plate together.

• Make sure alignment sleeves for engine to transmission are installed in cylinder block, install if necessary.

• If alignment sleeves are not present, shifting difficulties, clutch problems and possibly noise in transmission (loose gear rattling) will occur.

Installation position of clutch disc





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

Checking ends of the diaphragm spring





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

Checking spring connections and rivet connections





- Check spring connections between pressure plate and cover for cracks, and check rivet connections for secure fit.

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

• Always replace the clutch plate and pressure plate together.

• Allocate clutch disc and thrust plate via engine code.

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

• Clean input shaft splines and (in case of used clutch plates) clean hub splines, remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of lubricant (G 000 100) on splines. Then move clutch plate back and forth on input shaft until the hub moves freely on the shaft. Excess grease must be removed.

• Pressure plates are corrosion-protected and greased. Only the contact surfaces may be cleaned, otherwise the service life of the clutch will be considerably reduced.

• The pressure plate contact surface and clutch plate lining must make full contact with flywheel. Only then may the securing bolts be installed.

- Reposition flywheel retainer (3067) for installation.





- Position pressure plate on alignment pins.

- To center clutch plate, use centering pin (3190 A).

- Install all bolts evenly, by hand, until bolt heads contact the pressure plate.

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

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