It is very important to center the clutch driven plate and pressure plate is very important when they are installed in order to provide vibration free clutch engagement when starting and gear shifting. Vibrations can occur when the clutch is engaged at low engine speeds if the pressure plate is not correctly installed. Correct installation is difficult without special tools.

New tools have been developed that relieve the pressure on the pressure plate diaphragm spring when installing (or removing) it. The tools consist of a centering drift for the clutch driven plate and a press tool for the pressure plate diaphragm spring.

There are tools for all Volvo engine versions. The press tool is the same for all engine versions, only the centering tool varies with the engine version.

This Service Bulletin describes how the tools are used for installing or removing the clutch driven plate and pressure plate.
