Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Adjusting clutch engagement
| The position of the engagement bearings “K 1” and “K 2” must
only be adjusted after the following work: |
| Engaging levers were renewed. |
| Small ball pin for engaging lever “K 2” has been renewed. |
| Engagement bearings were renewed. |
 Note
| There is no need to adjust anything if all the named parts
have only been removed and reinstalled. |
| The retaining ring must be renewed in each case. |
| Special tools and workshop equipment
required |
|
|
|
| Not shown: Depth gauge, digital 300 mm -VAS 6594- |
| Dual clutch removed
→ Chapter. |
| The gearbox flange must be level to assure good contact with
the ruler. |
| Mechatronic unit for dual clutch gearbox -J743- built into
gearbox. |
Caution
| Risk of damage to clutch and other components! |
| Mounting for engaging lever and entire mechanism of
engagement bearing must be dry and free of oil or
grease. |
|
|
|
|
| Removing and installing ball pin |
| – |
Use pliers to remove ball-head pin. |
|
|
|
| – |
Push in »new« ball pin by hand,
if necessary using a plastic hammer and drift to tap it in. |
Note
| To avoid damage to ball pin, only tap the drift lightly with
the plastic head hammer. |
|
|
|
Note
| If dimension “B” has already been determined, it is now
possible to proceed with step “2” of the measurement
→ Anchor |
| – |
Install previously used retaining ring
-arrow- of outer input shaft. |
|
|
|
| 1st step: Determine dimension “B” for clutch “K 1” and “K 2” |
|
|
|
| – |
Place ruler -T40100- upwards across end of shaft onto
gearbox flange. |
Caution
| Risk of false measurements. |

for the following measurements. Do not turn over, do not
remove. |
|
|
|
|
| – |
Fit digital 300 mm depth gauge -VAS 6594- on top of ruler
-T40100-. Position depth gauge rod on outer input shaft. |
| – |
Set depth gauge to “0”. |
|
|
|
| – |
Position depth gauge rod on retaining ring, as show in
diagram. |

shim “SK1” is now calculated according to the following
calculus. |
|
|
|
| |
Height tolerance of engagement
bearing “K 1” |
| –/+ |
Clutch tolerance of clutch “K
1” |
| = |
Calculated thickness of shim “SK
1” |
| 2.42 mm + 0.20 mm = 2.62 mm |
| Result: Calculated thickness of shim “SK 1” = 2.62 mm |
|
|
|
| – |
Select required shim from the table with the help of the
part number -magnifying glass- and
have it ready for installation. |

|
|
|
| – |
Remove end gauge -T10466- and large engagement lever again. |
|
|
|
| 6th step: Determine dimension “A 2” for clutch engaging
lever “K 2” |
Note
| The upper section of bushing cannot be removed or installed
alone. It is always removed or installed together with lower
section of bushing and »small«
engagement lever. |
| Observe the following when installing a new engaging lever
»K2«: |
|
|
|
| The new engaging lever »K2« with
upper and lower section of guide sleeve will be delivered in
transport position -illustration-
and must be set to installation position prior to installation. |
| Setting engaging lever »K2« to
installation position: |
|
|
|
| – |
Hold upper section of guide sleeve with one hand. With the
other hand turn the lower section of guide sleeve in direction
of arrow until the sleeve moves freely. |
Note
| Apply high force to hold both sections, as this is necessary
for turning the lower section of the guide sleeve. |
|
|
|
| If the engaging lever is in installation position, the holes
of the lower section of guide sleeve are at right angles to the
engaging lever. The sleeve moves freely. |
|
|
|
| – |
Install »small« engagement lever
together with upper and lower section of bushing. Insert and
tighten new bolts. |
| Specified torques:

|
|
|
| – |
Insert »small« engagement
bearing without shim. |
Caution
| Risk of false measurements. |
|
|
|
|

grooves. |
| – |
By turning, check whether small engagement bearing has been
installed correctly and that grooves are seated correctly. |
|
|
|
| – |
Place end gauge -T10466- on small engagement bearing. Flat
side faces upwards. |
| – |

mm |
|
|
|
| – |
In the opposite position, determine dimension “A 2b”
to end gauge -T10466-. |
| Example: Dimension “A 2b” = 4.75
mm |
| – |
Calculate mean value from dimension “A 2a”
and “A 2b”. |
| Result: Dimension “A 2” = 4.77 mm |
| 7th step: Calculate height tolerance of clutch engagement
bearing “K 2” |
Note
| On the basis of dimension “A 2” and dimension “B”, the
height tolerance of the engagement bearing for clutch “K 2” is
now calculated according to the following calculus. |
|
|
|
| |
Dimension “A 2” |
| – |
Dimension “B” |
| = |
Actual height tolerance of
clutch engagement bearing “K 2” |
| 4.77 mm – 2.60 mm = 2.17 mm |
| Result: Height tolerance of clutch engagement bearing “K 2”
= 2.17 mm |
|
