The installation of the clutch kit for Peugeot models (e.g., 308, 408, 508, 2008, etc.) must follow standardized procedures, while paying attention to details based on the engine characteristics of the model (e.g., 1.6L, 1.8L, 1.2T, etc.). The core principles are accurate centering, torque compliance, and component cleanliness. The specific steps are as follows:
Special tools: Clutch centering tool (matching the clutch size of the model), torque wrench (accuracy ≥5N·m), flywheel locking tool, release bearing disassembly/assembly tool, socket set (including hexagon sockets, Torx sockets), crowbar, jack, stands (or lift).
Accessories: Clutch kit (pressure plate, clutch disc, release bearing, pilot bearing/bushing), flywheel bolts, pressure plate bolts, grease (high-temperature lithium-based grease for release fork shaft and pilot bearing), cleaner (brake cleaner for removing oil contamination).
Protection: Gloves, safety goggles, and ensure a clean and clutter-free construction environment.
Park the vehicle on a flat surface, engage the handbrake, and secure the body with stands (never rely solely on a jack);
Disconnect the negative battery terminal (to prevent short circuits);
Remove the front wheels (one or both sides, depending on model space), remove the engine underguard, and drain the transmission oil (some models require removing the oil pan);
Remove the drive shaft (for manual transmission models), shift linkage, and clutch slave/master cylinder connecting oil pipes (seal properly to prevent oil leakage).
Remove the bolts connecting the transmission to the engine (mark the positions of long and short bolts), support the transmission with a crowbar or special lifting tool, and slowly pull it backward to avoid hitting the input shaft and flywheel.
Secure the flywheel with a flywheel locking tool (to prevent rotation), and loosen the pressure plate bolts evenly diagonally (loosen in 3-4 stages to avoid pressure plate deformation);
Remove the pressure plate and clutch disc, inspect the flywheel face (for wear, grooves, cracks), and measure the flywheel flatness (refinish or replace if exceeding limits);
Remove the release bearing (integrated with the release fork on some models), inspect the pilot bearing (located at the rear end of the crankshaft; replace if stuck or noisy, using a special tool for pressing out/in).
Thoroughly clean the flywheel face, transmission input shaft, clutch disc splines, and pressure plate surface with brake cleaner (do not touch the friction surfaces directly with hands to avoid oil contamination);
Apply a small amount of high-temperature lithium-based grease to the pilot bearing (if replaced); apply grease to the inner ring of the release bearing and the contact point of the release fork (to avoid dry friction noise);
Apply a small amount of graphite grease (or special spline grease) to the clutch disc spline bore (do not overapply to prevent splashing onto friction surfaces).
Centering operation: Place the clutch disc on the flywheel, ensuring the damping springs face the transmission side (universal direction for Peugeot models; refer to the repair manual for some models); insert the clutch centering tool through the clutch disc spline bore to the crankshaft pilot bearing, adjust the clutch disc position to achieve full centering with the flywheel and pressure plate (centering deviation will prevent transmission installation or cause clutch judder).
Pressure plate fixation: Align the pressure plate with the locating pins (on the flywheel), fit the pressure plate bolts, screw them in by hand, then tighten evenly diagonally in 3-4 stages (the torque for Peugeot pressure plate bolts is typically 25-30N·m; refer to the model repair manual for specifics, e.g., 28N·m for Peugeot 308 1.6L models).
Remove the centering tool and check that the clutch disc rotates freely (no jamming).
Install the new release bearing onto the release fork (clip into the release fork slot on some models) and ensure smooth sliding of the bearing;
Inspect the release fork return spring for integrity and replace if necessary.
Slowly move the transmission toward the engine with a lifting tool, align the input shaft with the clutch disc splines, and push it in smoothly (if it cannot be pushed in, the clutch disc is not centered—readjust and never force it with hammer blows);
Install the bolts connecting the transmission to the engine and tighten to the specified torque (the torque for Peugeot transmission bolts is typically 40-50N·m, e.g., 45N·m for Peugeot 408 1.8L models);
Reinstall the drive shaft, shift linkage, and clutch slave/master cylinder oil pipes, then add transmission oil (according to model specifications, e.g., 75W-90 GL-4 gear oil).
Reconnect the negative battery terminal, press the clutch pedal several times (to bleed air from the clutch slave cylinder if the oil pipes were disassembled), and adjust the pedal free travel (typically 10-15mm for Peugeot models, adjustable via the slave cylinder push rod or master cylinder adjusting nut).
Start the engine, press the clutch pedal lightly at idle, and check for complete disengagement (smooth gear shifting without jamming);
Conduct low-speed driving tests (1st-2nd gears) to check:
No slipping: Throttle and vehicle speed increase synchronously (no "throttle rises but speed lags");
No judder: No obvious body shaking during starting, with smooth clutch engagement;
No abnormal noise: No "squeaking" or "clicking" during disengagement/engagement (abnormal noise is often caused by insufficient grease on the release bearing or misalignment of the clutch disc).
The dual-mass flywheel is non-detachable. If excessive clearance (＞1.5mm), abnormal noise, or dynamic imbalance occurs, replace it as a whole—refinishing or repair is prohibited;During assembly, strictly align the marks made during disassembly, otherwise engine vibration and transmission abnormal noise may occur.
During installation, ensure the release bearing is coaxial with the transmission input shaft to avoid uneven wear on the diaphragm spring; when replacing the release bearing, simultaneously inspect the sealing ring of the hydraulic oil pipe joint and replace it if aged.
For AMT models, clutch installation requires additional alignment of the electronic control actuator position. After installation, perform clutch stroke self-learning with a diagnostic tool (Peugeot original diagnostic tools PP2000 or Diagbox), otherwise gear shifting jolt may occur.

The two sections of content you previously received—"Installation Method of Peugeot Clutch Kit" and "Precautions"—are original summaries compiled by me based on Peugeot vehicle maintenance specifications, official factory manuals (e.g., WIS/Diagbox), and industry universal procedures. They are not directly excerpted from any single public article or official document.
Core Basis: Peugeot official factory maintenance manuals (WIS), clutch disassembly and assembly procedures, torque parameters, and model characteristics (e.g., 1.2T dual-mass flywheel, hydraulic release bearing) for common models (308/408/508/2008, etc.).
Industry Universal Specifications: Standardized operations such as clutch centering, diagonal tightening, friction surface cleaning, and use of high-temperature lithium-based grease.
Experience Supplements: Avoidance of common faults (e.g., oil contamination, centering deviation, insufficient grease in release bearing) and practical feedback from car owners/maintenance workshops.
Official Factory Manuals: The clutch disassembly and assembly chapters for corresponding models can be obtained through Peugeot's official after-sales system (e.g., WIS/Diagbox) or authorized dealers to verify details such as torque values, centering direction, and release mechanism assembly.
Model Cases: Clutch replacement operation posts for Peugeot 308/408/307 and other models on forums such as Autohome/Xcar can be used as practical references, but the official factory manuals shall prevail.
Key Parameters: Typical values for common Peugeot engines include pressure plate bolt torque of 25–30N·m, transmission connecting bolt torque of 40–50N·m, and flywheel flatness ≤0.2mm. Specific values shall be confirmed by checking the manual with the VIN.
