Removing

-- Remove the transmission.

-- Install the flywheel retainer3067 to loosen the bolts.

-- Loosen the bolt diagonally and in small steps.

-- Remove the pressure plate and the clutch disc.

Installing

Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal while observing the following:

NOTE:

Allocate the pressure plate and the clutch disc to match the engine code.

Check whether there are alignment sleeves for the engine/transmission in the cylinder block; install if necessary.

If the alignment sleeves are missing, it will be difficult to shift, there will be clutch problems and the transmission may make noises (loose rattling).

-- Check the spring connections -arrows A- for damage and make sure the rivet connections -arrows B- are tight.

Fig 4: Identifying Edges Of Adjusting Ring Position

Both edges -A- of the adjusting ring must be located between both notches -arrows B-.
If the adjusting ring takes on a different position with a new pressure plate, the pressure plate and clutch disc must not be installed.
With used clutches, the adjusting ring may take on a position outside of the notches.

NOTE:

Replace the clutch disc and pressure plate if the rivets are damaged or loose.

Replace the pressure plate and the clutch disc together.

Allocate the clutch disc and pressure plate to match the engine code.

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

Clean the input shaft splines and (on a used clutch disc) the hub splines, remove corrosion and apply a very thin coating of grease for clutch plate splines G 000 100 to the splines. Then move the clutch plate back and forth on the input shaft until the hub moves freely on the shaft. Remove any excess grease.

The pressure plate is corrosion-protected and lubricated. Only the running surfaces may be cleaned. Otherwise the service life of the clutch will be shortened considerably.

The pressure plate contact surface and the clutch disc lining must completely touch the flywheel. Install the bolts.

-- Remove the flywheel retainer 3067 when installing.
