Does R&R clutch require SAC reset?

B6T · 08-14-2020, 06:49 AM

I've removed my clutch for a flywheel replacement (... along with an entire engine replacement). The clutch disk will be re-installed along with the pressure plate.

I'm wondering if the self-adjusting pressure plate needs to be 'reset' in this instance. The TIS only seems to have instructions on the use of special tools that are pertinent for installing a new clutch disk, not reinstalling the same disk. I understand that with a new flywheel there could be a difference in stack height which is the same effect as installing a new disk, but I doubt it would be as significant, so I'm hoping I don't have to source these special tools to complete the clutch assembly. I also have no idea how the SAC PP works so that's part of the problem.

Appreciate the help!

Anyone?

I just reinstalled mine without resetting anything when I replaced my RMS a few months back. All is good.

No, even if you do it it will revert back to same position.
