Clutch, With Single Flywheel: Installing

Allocate clutch pressure plate and clutch plate according to the engine code.

Clean the input shaft splines and (on used clutch plates) the hub splines. Remove any corrosion and then apply a very thin coat of Lubricant G 000 100 on 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 clutch pressure plates are corrosion-protected and greased. With the exception of the friction surface on the clutch plate, do not clean the clutch pressure plate. This will shorten the service life of the clutch considerably.

The friction surfaces on the clutch pressure plate and on the flywheel must be cleaned thoroughly (degreased).

To reduce odor caused by a burnt clutch, thoroughly clean the transmission housing around the clutch as well as the engine on the transmission side.

Only use compressed air to clean the dual mass flywheel.

The clutch plate linings must sit completely on the flywheel and on the clutch pressure plate friction surface. Install the bolts.

Tighten the bolts diagonally in small steps so as to not damage the centering holes in the pressure plate and the centering pins on the flywheel.

Make sure the alignment sleeves for centering the engine/transmission are installed inside the cylinder block. Install them 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).
