Overview - Dual Clutch

Brief Description 

• The clutch has two disc packs. The outer, larger clutch plate pack is called "K 1" (clutch 1). The "K 1" shifts reverse gear and >>1st<<, >>3rd<< and >>5th<< gears. The inner, smaller "K 2" (clutch 2) shifts the gears >>2<<, >>4<< and >>6<<.
• Assembling the dual clutch requires special care, because all of the components were balanced to each other at the manufacturer. If the position of the components are turned toward each other during assembly, imbalances will occur at the expense of shifting function and life span.
