code. Refer to the Parts Catalog.  
Check whether there are centering sleeves for the engine/

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.
