3 - Clutch Pressure Plate

Danger of causing damage to the clutch pressure plate and the dual mass flywheel.

• Only remove and install the clutch pressure plate - 3 - when it is pre-tensioned.

• Clutch pressure plates that are not pre-tensioned will distort when loosening or tightening the bolts - 2 - and that leads to shuddering when accelerating.

• The dual mass flywheel must only be supported by the sliding washer - arrow A - when tightening the clutch pressure plate - 3 - in the hydraulic press.

• If the dual mass flywheel is supported on the transfer plate - 1 -, it will distort and be damaged. The dual mass flywheel must then be replaced.

- Position the clutch module so the (VW 510) rests on the sliding washer - arrow A - in the dual mass flywheel.

- Place the assembly tool (T10254/3) on the clutch pressure plate spring tabs - 3 - and press it using the press.

• Pressing distance dimension - x - 8 - 9 mm

• A second technician is needed for the following step.

- Remove all 6 bolts - 2 - and release the tension on the press.

- Remove the clutch pressure plate - 3 - and clutch disc.

Installing

Install in reverse order, paying attention to the following:

• Tightening specification - 7 - => [ Bolt ] Clutch, Sachs Assembly Overview.

• Check the clutch pressure plate for distortion => [ Clutch Pressure Plate, Checking
for Distortion, Cracks and Burn Marks ] Clutch, Sachs Assembly Overview.

- Center the clutch disc using the (T40171).





- Install the clutch pressure plate on the centering pins.

• Installed position, clutch plate: the spring pack (coil springs) or "Getriebeseite (transmission side)" must face the clutch pressure plate.

- Position the clutch module so the (VW 510) rests on the sliding washer - arrow A - in the dual mass flywheel.





1 - Clutch Pressure Plate

The dual mass flywheel could be damaged.

• The dual mass flywheel - 3 - must only be supported by the sliding washer - arrow A - when tightening the clutch pressure plate - 1 - in the hydraulic press.

• If the dual mass flywheel is supported on the transfer plate - arrow B -, it will distort and be damaged. The dual mass flywheel must then be replaced.

- Place the assembly tool (T10254/3) over the (T40171).

- Press the press straight until the clutch pressure plate - 1 - comes into contact with the dual mass flywheel - 3 - - C arrows -.

• A second technician is needed for the following step.

- Install all 6 bolts - 2 - one after another and tighten to the final specification.

- Release the tension on the press.
