Nuts, bolts

Loosen nuts or bolts, opposite to tightening
sequence.
Tighten and loosen bolts and nuts for securing
covers and housings in a diagonal sequence.
Especially delicate parts, such as clutch
pressure plates, must not be distorted. Loosen
and tighten bolts and nuts in stages in a
diagonal sequence.
The tightening torques stated apply to non-oiled
nuts and bolts.
Replace self-locking bolts and nuts.
The threads of bolts which are secured by a
locking fluid should be cleaned with a wire
brush. Then apply AMV 185 101 A1 when
inserting.
Threaded holes into which self-locking bolts or
bolts coated with locking fluid are screwed,
must be cleaned (e.g. tap). Otherwise there is a
danger of bolts shearing when subsequently
being removed.

Synchronizer rings

Do not interchange synchronizer rings. When
reusing always fit to the same gear.
Check for wear, replace if necessary.
Lubricate with gear oil before installing.

Clutch mechanism
When removing transmission, remove clutch
slave cylinder without disconnecting lines.
If the slave cylinder is removed with the
hydraulic line attached, do not depress clutch
pedal. Otherwise the piston will be pressed out
of the slave cylinder.
Ensure that the pressure plate is kept straight:
loosen and tighten bolts in a diagonal sequence
and in several gradual stages.
To reduce odor caused by a burnt clutch,
thoroughly clean the clutch bellhousing, the
flywheel and the parts of the engine facing the
transmission.

Vehicles with V6 2.7 ltr bi-turbo engine have an
SAC pressure plate. On these vehicles an
adjuster ring has to be reset ( Page 30

)
when replacing the clutch plate on its own.
