Adjuster ring in SAC clutch pressure
plate, resetting
"SAC" stands for Self-Adjusting-Clutch
When fitting a new clutch plate together with a
used SAC pressure plate, the adjuster ring in
the pressure plate has to be reset by turning it
back as far as it will go. If this is not done, the
SAC pressure plate will operate with reduced
clamping force, which will cause clutch slip and
excessive wear (especially of the clutch plate).
This adjustment is only required when fitting a
new clutch plate together with a used SAC
pressure plate, as above.
If the clutch plate is not being replaced, it is not
necessary to reset the adjuster ring.
New SAC pressure plates are pre-set
accordingly, and do not have to be reset.
