Powertrain
2.2.4
Central release mechanism
The hydraulically actuated piston is controlled by the clutch pedal and the master
cylinder and thereby acts as a slave cylinder. The thrust bearing integrated into the
release piston transfers the force to the diaphragm spring of the clutch housing,
thereby separating the positive engagement between engine and gearbox.
When handling the central release mechanism seal,
make sure to avoid any contact with transmission oil.
Otherwise, the seal may swell, which in the worst case
may lead to a loss of function. Only use the Sachs
special tool to fit the seal.
Also make sure to remove oil residues from your hands and the working environment
before handling the seal (this also applies to engine oil and other oils).
According to the manufacturer, the seal is compatible only with hydraulic fluids with
DOT4 and DOT5.1 specifications.
