Flywheel Runout Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Do not clean the dual mass flywheel with any kind of fluid. Use a dry cloth only or damage to the dual mass flywheel may occur.

NOTE: Do not clean the gap between the primary and secondary mass. Only clean the bolt connection surface and the clutch surface or damage to the flywheel may occur.

Check the transaxle fluid level and fill to the correct level as necessary.
With the engine operating at idle and the transaxle in NEUTRAL, listen and check for unacceptable noise. Determine if any unacceptable noise is reduced when the clutch pedal is depressed. For additional information, refer to FLYWHEEL INSPECTION for the Flywheel Inspection .
