Inspection



The Fichtel-Sachs MX 200 K clutch has been designed without provision for repair or overhaul. The clutch inspection is, therefore, limited to a thorough visual examination of the component parts.

2. Check diaphragm spring segments for wear in the throwout bearing contact area. Groove formation up to a depth of O. 3mm (0.012 in) may be disregarded.

3. Check pressure plate contact surface for cracks, scorching, or wear. Pressure plates warped inward up to 0,3 mm (0.012 in) (see illustration) are still serviceable.
