Positioned directly at the far end-casing of the gearbox housing, its primary function is to act as a structural seal cap covering the internal clutch release bearing (throw-out bearing) assembly. On unique inverted clutch designs, the release bearing sits at the rear of the transmission rather than inside the bellhousing. This heavy-duty pressed plate seals the mechanical fluid chamber, preventing vital gear oil from leaking out onto the ground while protecting the pushrod and release mechanisms from road dirt, moisture, and debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e TOPRAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 068 \/ 100068\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrade Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e TOPRAN 100 068 001\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Classification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clutch Release Bearing End Cap \/ Transmission Flange Lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e On Gearbox Housing Exterior (End-cover assembly)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Diameter [mm]:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89.7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitted \/ Press Diameter [mm]:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight [mm]:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-tensile stamped Sheet Steel coated for maximum rust and oxidation resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 80mm fitted end cap is precision-engineered exclusively to seal the rear casing of the classic manual 4-speed and 5-speed manual gearboxes utilized across generations of Volkswagen Group (VAG) passenger cars and commercial variants:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eCar Model\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eCompatible Gearbox Platforms\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eEngine Displacements\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eYear of Manufacture\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Golf II (19E, 1G1) \/ Jetta II (19E)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5-Speed Manual Gearboxes \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e(020 mechanical rod-linkage transmission family)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.3 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.8 \/ 1.8 GTI \/ 1.6 D \/ 1.6 TD\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1983 - 1992\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Golf I (17) \/ Jetta I (16) \/ Convertible (155) \/ Scirocco\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e020 Type 4 \u0026amp; 5-speed gearboxes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.5 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.8 \/ 1.6 D\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1976 - 1993\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Golf III (1H1) \/ Vento (1H2) \/ Variant\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e020 Rod-Shift Manual Transmissions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.4 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.8 \/ 2.0 \/ 1.9 D \/ 1.9 TD \/ 1.9 TDI\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1991 - 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVW Polo Classic \u0026amp; Variant (6KV2, 6KV5) \/ Caddy II\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e020 derivative layouts\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.4 \/ 1.6 \/ 1.9 SDI \/ 1.9 TDI\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1995 - 2004\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSEAT Toledo I (1L) \/ Ibiza II (6K1) \/ Cordoba (6K2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e020 Manual gearbox layouts\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.6 i \/ 1.8 i \/ 2.0 i \/ 1.9 TD \/ 2.0 i 16V\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1991 - 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Installation Notice:\u003c\/strong\u003e This cover plate is engineered strictly for the legendary VAG \u003cstrong\u003e020 type rod-shifted manual transmission family\u003c\/strong\u003e (frequently recognized by its iconic green factory cap color).

Whenever you access the clutch release bearing or actuation finger located behind this plate, you must discard the old cap and tap a new one into place.
