pressure plate and clutch please

[randyiam]

veedub mechanic if you can help i need both fly wheel to crank
and pressure plate to flywheel. i am changing a friend of mines
auto to a manual. i have a book on passats but i do not think it
covers the vr6 which is what i am working on. it tells me to go to
44 lbs then take all 90 degrees more. it seams like alot. i hop you
can help. tech info.... 1993 vw passat vr6 auto/ now manual.
the tranny is also out of a 93 passat.

44 ft lbs sounds ok. The bolts are torque to yeild bolts (hence the +90deg. after torque) that are supposed to be replaced after install.

Pressure plate bolts should only be like 12 or 14nm

favor at the vw dealer and the toqure on the flywheel
is 44 then 45 degrees. but he did not tell me they were
a replace so thanks for that.
