Exploded view - dual clutch
The dual clutch consists of two sets of plates, or clutch packs, and is therefore also referred to as a
“multiple clutch”
. The larger clutch pack (located on the outside) is designated
“K 1”
(clutch 1), and controls the torque flow for reverse gear and gears

Any work performed on the multiple clutch requires extra care because all the parts are balanced and matched together in production. If the components are rotated out of their original positions when repairing, this will cause imbalance and impair the smoothness of the gear-changes and reduce the service life of the unit.
Replacement parts

With circlip
Caution
The clutch plates can slip out of position inside the multiple clutch unit.
The multiple clutch unit must not be dismantled at present.
If the drive plate (which forms the upper section of the multiple clutch unit) becomes detached from the splines in the outer plate carrier, the clutch plates can slip out of position in the clutch. It will then no longer be possible to adjust the clutch correctly.
The drive plate included with the replacement part is not secured with the large circlip; it is only a close fit inside the clutch.
