Also grease the following contact surfaces with Renocal (Glissando VW 745) (Part No. 000.043.206.21): The clutch pedal switch (interlock switch) system -arrow-  . In addition, the contact surface between the clutch pedal (inside of prongs) -arrow-  and the guiding rods of the clutch power spring -arrow-  .

Check bearings on the clutch power spring/clutch pedal (bushes, bearing shells) and the connection pieces for signs of wear. Replace any parts that are worn. Use new lock for pin.

Observe correct tightening torques.

When installing the bracket for clutch power spring, insert the valve pushrod for the master cylinder carefully into the specified position in the clutch pedal.

If creaking noises (over approx. 2/3 of the lift area) are heard after installing the clutch pedal, these may be coming from the connection between the ball head piston rod and piston seat of the clutch master cylinder -arrow-  . In this case, spray a minimal amount of multipurpose oil on the connection point using a metering tube -arrow-  . Important: The lubricant must only be applied to this connection point so make sure not to use too much. This connection point cannot be taken apart without damaging it irreparably.
