Remove the transmission assembly from the vehicle. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 308-03A. 2. Inspect the clutch and dual mass flywheel. Do the clutch and/or dual mass flywheel have failures like the ones shown in Figures 1-3? Figure 1 – A torn strap of the intermediate pressure plate on clutch Figure 2 – Dual mass flywheel rivet failure Figure 3 – Stuck dual mass flywheel due to spring breakage. Bolt access requires cutting through the flywheel. (1). Yes – proceed to Step 3. (2). No – this article does not apply. Refer to WSM, Section 308-03A and continue with normal diagnostics. 3. Replace the clutch, dual mass flywheel and any other damaged components. Refer to WSM, Section 308-01 and303-01. 4. Replace the peak torque limiter. (1).
