Covered the majority of the vehicles equipped of SAC clutches.
Care is required when assembling these clutches because it could deform the clutch mechanism
bell cover or displace it if it is done incorrectly.
To avoid these problems, the assembly/removal of SAC clutches must be carried out with a
special tool.
SAC clutches are visually characterized by the presence of a few yellow pliers (2 or 3) on the
mechanism.
Care must be taken when assembling these clutches, as incorrect assembly could deform the
clutch bell or cause the clutch mechanism to lose adjustment.
This makes it difficult to recognize in warranty parts whose malfunction is caused by assembly
errors.
To avoid these disadvantages, the assembly and disassembly of these SAC clutches must be
carried out with a special tool.
