MULTI-PLATE CLUTCH, SERVICING OVERVIEW
- The clutch of the S-Tronic transmission 02E has 2 clutch disks and is also called a "multi-plate clutch" because of this. The exterior, larger clutch disc is called "K 1" (clutch 1) and shifts the reverse gear and the gears 1, 3 and 5. The inner, smaller "K 2" (clutch 2) shifts the gears 2, 4 and 6.
- Because all parts of the multi-plate clutch were balanced together during manufacture, assembly work requires special caution. The location of the parts to one another changes during removal and installation, imbalances result. These impair the shift function and shorten the service life.

- Multi-Plate Clutch With locking ring CAUTION: Risk of discs in multi-plate clutch slipping. Do not disassemble the multi-plate clutch at this time. If the drive plate (upper section of multi-plate clutch) comes out of the outer clutch pack carrier teeth, the plates can slip. The multi-plate clutch can no longer be adjusted correctly. In the replacement part package, the drive plate is not secured with the large circlip but rather only sits "taut" in the multi-plate clutch.

Remove the multi-plate clutch from packaging while securing drive plate.
Install the old drive plate locking ring -A- in the multiplate clutch removed earlier.
Scheme 227
- Installed position: Drive plate tab and outer clutch pack carrier teeth marked in color must lie between ends of circlip.
Using a screwdriver, make sure the circlip is completely engaged.
On the bottom side of multi-plate clutch, check whether the hub sealing rings are seated correctly and engage them in one another if necessary.
Scheme 228
- Installed position: Ends of rings offset to one another.
Position the T10303 on the clutch end plate seat as illustrated.
Scheme 229
Insert the multi-plate clutch in the clutch bell housing by turning and lifting and pressing drive plate into outer clutch pack carrier with both thumbs -arrows-.
Scheme 230
Note. Do not let the multi-plate clutch fall into the inner clutch pack carrier.
Have a second technician hold the T10303 as illustrated until clutch end plate is installed.
Scheme 231
Note. To prevent the T10303 from rotating in place, do not rotate multi-plate clutch.

Find the 2 mm thick circlips in the replacement parts package.
Note. For the initial measurement, temporarily insert 2 mm thick circlip and then, after the measurement has been determined, replace it with the final circlip.
Insert a 2 mm locking ring -arrow-.
Attach VW 387 to transmission flange.
Scheme 234
For the 1st measurement, place dial gauge measuring tip on input shaft, as show in the illustration.
Set the dial gauge with 2 mm preload to "0".
Raise the multi-plate clutch all the way up.
Read the measurement (= input shaft axial play) and note.

The new circlip will be determined according to the following formula
Circlip = 2nd measurement - 1st measurement + 1.85 (= constant value)
The new circlips are staggered in 0.1 mm increments. Round to the closest number when selecting: Up to 0.049, round down, from 0.050, round up.
Example
- Measurement determined for new circlip 2.27 mm, new circlip rounded up to 2.3 mm thick.
- Measurement determined for new circlip 2.24 mm, new circlip rounded down to 2.2 mm thick.
Note. If the measurement determined for the new circlip is 2 mm, the circlip that was inserted temporarily remains installed.
