CAUTION:

Risk of plates in the dual clutch slipping.

The drive plate of a new dual clutch is not secured with a circlip. It only sits "taut" in the dual clutch.
If the drive plate comes out of the outer clutch plate carrier teeth, the plates can slip. The dual clutch can then no longer be adjusted correctly.
To ensure that the multiplate clutch plates do not slip, press the drive plate into the outer clutch plate carrier with both thumbs during all of the following steps.

NOTE:

The drive plate circlip delivered in the replacement parts package will be installed later.

-- Remove the new drive plate circlip from the packaging and move to the side.

-- Take the DSG^® clutch out of the packaging while doing so press the drive plate into the outer clutch pack carrier with both thumbs.

-- Install the old circlip -A- for the drive plate of the removed dual clutch.

Installation position: The drive plate tab and the outer clutch plate carrier teeth marked in color must rest between the ends of the circlip.

-- Using screwdriver, make sure the circlip -A- is completely engaged.

-- Check on the bottom of the dual clutch if the four hub seals are seated correctly and engage them in one another if necessary.
