Removing

  Note

• There is a normal "clicking" in the dual mass flywheel with "LuK" centrifugal pendulum absorber -A-.
• A "clicking" is heard when turning the clutch module -A- approximately every 90º. This noise comes from shifting pendulum masses (centrifugal pendulum absorber) in the dual mass flywheel and is not a fault.

• Secure the transmission on the Engine And Transmission Holder -VAS6095-. Refer to → Chapter "Securing on Engine and Transmission Holder".
