off-line there is a danger that the push rod
will be guided past the clutch release
lever.
◆ When installing, press in the clutch slave
cylinder far enough so that the securing
bolt can be fitted easily.
◆ Renew securing bolt -2-.
◆ Carefully press the clutch pedal after the
slave cylinder has been installed. If an unusually hard pressure point is noticeable when the pedal is pressed, the clutch
pedal must not be pressed any further.
The tappet of the slave cylinder has
probably been moved past the clutch
release lever. The slave cylinder will be
destroyed with a pedal force of approx.
300 N and above.
‒ Engage bracket for hose/pipe assembly -3- at the slave cylinder -4- and bolt to
gearbox with slave cylinder.
‒ When inserting the clutch slave cylinder
into the mounting bore of the gearbox
housing, keep it aligned with the working
direction of the push rod. Page 6 of 65-Speed Manual Gearbox 01A 4WD4.3.2014vw-wi://rl/A.en-GB.4B-S-S01AA.wi::21141314.xml?xsl=2

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

must be removed.
◆ Pressure plates are
protected against
corrosion and

considerably
reduced.

‒ 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.
