Engine Flywheel Cleaning and Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
In order to maintain the proper component balance, contact surface taper, and heat transfer, manual transmission flywheels are NOT to be machined.
Inspect the manual transmission flywheel for the following conditions:
- Pitted surface (1)
- Grooved or scored surface (2)
- Rusted surface (3)
- Damaged ring gear teeth (4)
- Loose or improperly positioned ring gear
The ring gear has an interference fit onto the flywheel and should be positioned completely against the flange of the flywheel.
- Missing, bent or damaged pressure plate locating pins
The 2 locating pins are installed into the flywheel and spaced 170 degrees apart to ensure proper orientation of the clutch pressure plate to the engine flywheel during assembly.
