Only Check Position of Adjustment Mechanism with New Pres‐  
sure Plates  
Both edges -A- of the adjusting ring must be located between  
both notches -arrows B-.  
If the adjusting ring takes on a different position with new pres‐  
sure plates, pressure plate and clutch plate must not be in‐  
stalled.  
With used clutches, the adjusting ring may take on a position  
outside of the notches.  
Note  
Replace clutch plates and pressure plates if the rivets are  
damaged or loose.  
Replace the pressure plate and the clutch plate together.  
Allocate the clutch plate and pressure plate to match the en‐  
gine code. Refer to the Parts Catalog.  
To reduce odor caused by a burnt clutch, thoroughly clean the  
clutch housing, the flywheel and the side of the engine facing  
toward the transmission.  
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.
