We can help you find the right one for your rig. Clutch Vibrations Vibrations in the clutch are usually a sign that the spring mount mechanism on the flywheel has failed.
Gears Slipping If you notice the gears constantly slipping when you shift the clutch, a bad flywheel could be the culprit. Clutch Replacement While you may not need to replace the flywheel when replacing your clutch, it is always a good idea to inspect it.
Some flywheels contain springs, such as dual mass flywheels. Dual mass flywheels will likely need replacement, as they cannot be resurfaced like a standard flywheel.
If the teeth on the flywheel are damaged, the flywheel may have trouble engaging with the starter motor. This could make it difficult or impossible to start the vehicle. If you are having issues starting your vehicle, you may want to take a look at your starter as well. An aftermarket flywheel that is too light for the vehicle or the driver will make it much easier to stall the vehicle and could give you a rough idle.
On very light flywheels, you may even stall the vehicle simply by pushing the clutch in, just because the engine speed drops too fast for the ECU to add additional air and fuel to compensate.
If a flywheel is unbalanced, it may vibrate the whole powertrain even while the clutch is engaged. If you recently replaced the clutch, flywheel, or pressure plate, make sure you torqued all bolts to spec and applied thread locker if it was called for in the factory service manual.
A flywheel that comes loose or disintegrates while driving is incredibly dangerous, as there is a considerable amount of energy stored in the flywheel.
The replacement cost of a flywheel will depend on the make and model of your vehicle. Dual mass flywheels or other complicated implementations are more expensive. This will not be a short job to perform, so the mechanic may be spending close to 4 to 5 hours.
I am only getting 17 vac out of the stator. Replace it and still only 17 vac. The one I replaced looked bad burned badly. Everything about the flywheel looked good. Have also replaced the VR. Worn starter drive components, worn bushings in the starter, improper shimmed starters on vehicles that use shims, weak batteries and aged equipment cause flywheel problems.
Most engines will stop in the same stop each time the engine is shutoff. That causes the same spot on the flywheel to be engaged each start. The idea is that the rubber creates smoother operation of the clutch release and reduces vibration in modern cars. The main reason these jobs tend to be more expensive than with typical older type clutch jobs is the price of the parts.
A standard style flywheel is much more durable so does not often need to be changed. The classic and most obvious symptom of a cracked flexplate involves the sound it makes while the engine is running. Descriptions of the sound include clanking, chirping and a light knocking.
The reason for the sound involves the flexplate's location and its function. Should problem areas be revealed, the suggestion will always be to replace, or repair , the flywheel.
However, not wishing to complicate issues, there are two types of flywheel. If you are fortunate and the flywheel has not been damaged by a worn clutch-plate, its replacement will simply not be deemed necessary. The failure symptoms of a dual mass flywheel Sense of something hitting the clutch pedal from underneath. Squeaking sound and shake down. Clunking and grinding noise from the engine compartment. This can be attributed to a bad flywheel , which causes plate grinding, amplified friction, and oil contamination.
When these things happen , the inner machinery of the flywheel is prone to gear slippage. Flywheels are typically found on vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, while flexplates are used in vehicles with automatic transmissions. A flexplate is mounted to the crankshaft and connects the output from the engine to the input of a torque converter. A clutch kit comes with it a clutch disc or a clutch friction disc and clutch pressure plate, although some clutch kits have pilot bushings or pilot bearings.
Most clutch kits have one or more friction discs. In cases where there is more than one, the discs are pressed tightly together against the flywheel by springs. Technically explained , the flywheel if manual or flex plate if automatic transmission is defined as a disc that is bolted to the crankshaft at the rear of the engine.
It serves many purposes: On a manual transmission car, it gives one of the friction surfaces for the clutch. If so, your flywheel needs to be resurfaced.
