CAUTION:

The lining plates must be installed with the same alignment, thus the places without outside teeth -arrows- must always lie on top of each other. Only in this way is the adjustment correct; mark the input shaft cylinder for correct installation, if necessary.

-- Insert the determined upper adjustment plate -4- in the input shaft cylinder -A-.

CAUTION:

The inner running and sealing surfaces -arrow A- of the press plate and pistons -arrow C- must not touch the shaft during removal and installation.
The running and sealing surfaces must not show the smallest signs of damage such as scratches or grooves as a result of removing or installing.
If damaged, the pressure plate of the piston must be replaced.

-- Carefully guide the press plate -1- with pistons -2- downward over shaft -3-.

-- Insert both :T40102 under the press plate -A-.

-- A second technician must push the press plate -A- downward all the way in direction of -arrow 1- with :VW416B .

-- Guide both :T40102 circularly in the direction of -arrow- back and forth under the press plate.

Both :T40102 must be aligned when guided in.
The :T40102 must not be tilted.
Entire circular area must be checked.
Both :T40102 must always move freely without any resistance.

If the :T40102 cannot be guided in the direction of -arrow- without blocking:

-- Repeat the input shaft adjustment. Refer to INPUT SHAFT, ADJUSTING BY DETERMINING AIR GAP .

CAUTION:

The air gap must pass the inspection with the :T40102 , otherwise the transmission will have start-up problems after reinstallation.

If the :T40102 can be guided in the direction of -arrow- without blocking:

-- Install the input shaft cover. Refer to INPUT SHAFT COVER, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

-- Install the input shaft. Refer to INPUT SHAFT, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

-- Install the input shaft seal. Refer to INPUT SHAFT SEAL, REPLACING .
