- Clean serrated splines of input shaft 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.

- Bolt in support channels (VW 457/1) in threaded holes for attachment bolts/pendulum support to subframe.





- Spacer discs with a total thickness of 6 mm must be inserted between subframe and support channel (VW 457/1).
