– Insert -3067- to loosen bolts.
When removing, loosen the bolts as follows, so that the pressure
plate does not distort (causing shuddering on acceleration):
– Loosen all 6 bolts clockwise, one after the other and in steps
of 90° (
1
/
4
turn) until the pressure plate is free.
– Remove the pressure plate and the clutch plate.
Installing
• Tightening specification, refer to
⇒ “2.6 LuK Clutch Assembly Overview”, page 25 .
Install in reverse order, paying attention to the following:
Note
♦ Dual-mass flywheel, pressure plate and clutch plate are allo‐
cated to each other and must not be mixed with other manu‐
facturer's components.
♦ Only replace the clutch plate and pressure plate together and
allocate via engine code, refer to the electronic parts catalog
ETKA.
♦ Check the adjusting ring position in the case of a new pressure
plate ⇒ page 44 .
♦ 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.
♦ Clean the input shaft splines and on a used clutch plate, the
hub splines, remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coat‐
ing of grease -G 000 100- onto the splines. Then move clutch
plate back and forth on input shaft until the hub moves freely
on the shaft. Excess grease must be removed.
♦ The clutch pressure plates are corrosion-protected and
greased. With the exception of the friction surface on the clutch
plate, do not clean the pressure plate. This will shorten the
service life of the clutch considerably.
♦ The pressure plate contact surface and clutch plate lining must
make full contact with flywheel. Only then may the securing
bolts be installed.
♦ Only use compressed air to blow out the dual-mass flywheel.
♦ The friction surfaces on the pressure plate and on the dual
mass flywheel must be cleaned thoroughly (degreased).
♦ Make sure alignment sleeves for engine to transmission are
installed in cylinder block, install if necessary.
♦ If alignment sleeves are not installed, difficulty in shifting,
clutch problems and possibly noises from the transmission
(loose gear chatter) may develop.
