code. Refer to the Parts Catalog.  
♦ Check whether there are centering sleeves for the engine/  
transmission in the cylinder block; install if necessary.

there will be clutch problems and the transmission may make  
noises (loose rattling).

Checking the Spring Connections and Rivet Connections  
– Check the spring connections between the pressure plate and  
the cover for cracks and make sure the rivet connections are  
tight.  
•
Replace the pressure plate if the spring connections are dam‐  
aged or if the rivet connections -arrows- are loose.  
Note  
♦ Replace clutch plates and pressure plates if the rivets are  
damaged or loose.  
♦ Allocate clutch disc and thrust plate using the engine code.  
Refer to the Parts Catalog.  
♦ Clean input shaft splines and (on used clutch plates) the hub  
splines, remove corrosion and apply a very thin coating of  
Grease for Clutch Disc Shaft Splines - G 000 100- to the  
splines. Then move the clutch plate back and forth on the input  
shaft until the hub moves freely on the shaft. Remove any ex‐  
cess grease.  
♦ The pressure plates are protected from corrosion and lubrica‐  
ted. Only the running surfaces may be cleaned. Otherwise the  
service life of the clutch will be shortened considerably.  
♦ The pressure plate contact surface and the clutch plate lining  
must completely touch the flywheel. Install the bolts.  
– Move the Flywheel Retainer - 3067- during installation.

Continuation for All  
When Installing, Tighten Bolts As Follows So Pressure Plate  
Does Not Distort (Causing Shuddering on Acceleration):  
– Make sure the stop pin (position sensor) -arrow- moves easily.  
– Position the pressure plate on the centering pins.  
– Install all the bolts evenly, by hand, until the bolt heads contact  
the pressure plate.  
•
When doing this, the stop pin -arrow- must lift off from the  
pressure plate.  
– Tighten the bolts in small steps and in diagonal sequence to  
prevent damaging the centering holes of the pressure plate  
and the centering pins of the dual mass flywheel -item 4-  
⇒ Item 4 (page 62) .  
– Install the transmission.
