Notes:
◆ Observe the general
repair instructions
=>Page 00-17.
◆ If the clutch has burnt out, thoroughly clean
the bell housing,
flywheel and parts of
the engine facing the
gearbox in order to
prevent odours.
◆ Two different
versions of the dual-
mass flywheels may
be fitted. Distinguishing feature of the weight-
optimised dual-mass
flywheel => Fig.2.
◆ To prevent damage
to the weight-
optimised dual-mass
flywheel when
removing it, the
removal instructions
must be observed=>
Fig.2.
◆ Replace clutch plates and pressure plates
with damaged or
loose rivets.
◆ Pressure plates with
severely bent or
broken spring
connections must be
replaced => Fig.4
◆ Replace clutch plates and pressure plates
with damaged or
loose rivets.
◆ Select the correct
clutch plate and
pressure plate
according to engine
code:
=> Parts List
◆ Clean input shaft
splines and (in the
case of used clutch Page 1 of 75-Speed Manual Gearbox 01A 4WD4.3.2014vw-wi://rl/A.en-GB.4B-S-S01AA.wi::21141315.xml?xsl=2

plates) the hub splines.
Remove corrosion
and apply only a very thin coating of grease G 000 100 to the
splines. Then move clutch plate to and for on input shaft until
hub moves freely on
shaft. Excess grease
must be removed.
◆ Pressure plates are
protected against
corrosion and
greased. Only the
contact surface may be cleaned, otherwise the service life of the
clutch will be
considerably
reduced.
◆ Tighten securing
bolts in small steps in
diagonal sequence to
avoid damaging
centring holes in
pressure plate and
centring pins on
flywheel.

‒ Remove the gearbox
to work on the
clutch=>Page 34-35.

‒ Loosen and tighten bolts gradually in
several stages working diagonally.
Tightening torque: 25 Nm.
‒ Reverse position of retainer 3067 when
removing.
‒ Installation position of clutch plate: spring
pack (coil springs) or marking
"Getriebeseite" towards pressure plate and
gearbox.
‒ Clutch lining and contact surface of
pressure plate must make full contact with
flywheel before securing bolts are inserted. ‒ Use mandrel 3176 to centre clutch plate.
→ Fig.2 Weight-optimised dual-mass flywheel
Identification: Cheese-head bolts -B- are
countersunk in the flywheel -A-. Page 5 of 75-Speed Manual Gearbox 01A 4WD4.3.2014vw-wi://rl/A.en-GB.4B-S-S01AA.wi::21141315.xml?xsl=2

Removing Note:
In order to avoid destroying the weight-optimised
dual-mass flywheel during removal, the bolts -B-
must not be removed using a pneumatic or impact
driver. Only manual removal of the bolts -B- is permissible.
‒ Turn flywheel -A- until the bolts -B- are
positioned centrally with respect to the
holes -arrows-.
‒ When unscrewing bolts -B-, ensure that no
bolt heads are in contact with the flywheel -
arrows- to prevent damage as it turns. → Fig.3 Checking ends of the diaphragm spring
◆ Wear up to half the thickness of the
diaphragm spring is permitted.
Note:
When performing repairs always match up clutch pressure plate and clutch plate by checking engine code (see Parts Catalogue).
→ Fig.4 Checking spring connection and riveted fastenings
‒ Check the spring connections -arrows A- for damage and ensure the riveted fastenings -
arrows B- fit tightly.
Note:
Pressure plates with severely bent or broken
spring connections as well as loose riveted
fastenings must be replaced.
→ Fig.5 Checking wire ring ‒ Check the wire ring in the pressure plate -
arrow- for damage. Replace pressure plate
with broken wire ring. Page 6 of 75-Speed Manual Gearbox 01A 4WD4.3.2014vw-wi://rl/A.en-GB.4B-S-S01AA.wi::21141315.xml?xsl=2
