Instructions. Before replacing the clutch disc and pressure plate, take into account the requirements in the section "Transmission diagnostics, complaints about the clutch and clutch drive". Check the presence of fitted bushings in the cylinder block for centering the engine/gearbox, if necessary, insert bushings. Without centering bushings, there are difficulties when shifting gears, problems with the clutch and, accordingly, noise in the gearbox (gear crunch). Replace clutch discs and plates with damaged or loose rivets. Select clutch disc and pressure plate according to electronic spare parts catalog and engine letter designation.
1. Flywheel. Make sure that the centering pins are securely installed; there should be no grooves, oil stains or traces of grease on the working surface of the clutch linings.
2. Clutch slave disk. Corresponds to the electronic parts catalog. Installation position with a conventional flywheel: clutch housing facing the pressure plate. Center. Lightly grease the splined connection with grease. Clean the gear connection of the input shaft and, if using a clutch disk. Remove corrosion from the gear connection of the hub and apply a very thin layer of grease for the gear connection of the clutch disk "G 000 100" to the gear connection. Then move the clutch disk back and forth until the hub moves easily on the shaft. Be sure to remove excess grease.
3. Plate. Check the ends of the membrane spring, check the key and riveted connections. The pressure plates have corrosion protection and are lubricated with consistent grease. Only cleaning their working surface is allowed, otherwise the service life of the clutch will be significantly reduced.
4. Bolt, 20 Nm, loosen and tighten in stages crosswise.
Checking the ends of the membrane spring
Wear of up to half the thickness of the diaphragm spring petals is acceptable.
Check keyed and riveted joints
Check the spring connections between the pressure plate and the cover for cracks, as well as the riveted connections for strength.
