Check Position of the Adjustment Mechanism with a New Pressure Plate
Only Check the Position of the Adjustment Mechanism with a New Pressure Plate
- 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 plate must not be installed.
- With used clutches, the adjusting ring may take on a position outside of the notches.
Replace the clutch plate and pressure plate if the rivets are damaged or loose.
Replace the pressure plate and the clutch plate together.
Allocate the pressure plate and the clutch plate according to 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 used clutch plates) the hub splines. Remove any corrosion and apply a very thin coating of grease for clutch splines G 000 100 on the splines. Then move clutch plate back and forth on the transmission input shaft until the hub moves freely on the shaft. Remove any excess lubricant.
The pressure plate are corrosion-protected and greased. 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 plate lining must completely touch the flywheel. Install the bolts.
-- Install the 3067.
-- Mount the pressure plate on the alignment pins.
-- Use the 3190 A to center the clutch plate.
-- Install all bolts evenly, by hand, until the bolt heads touch the pressure plate.
-- Tighten the bolts in small steps and in a diagonal sequence to prevent damaging the centering holes of the pressure plate and the centering pins of the dual mass flywheel.
Tightening specifications, see -item 4-.
-- Install the transmission.
