Engine Flywheel Cleaning and Inspection






Important: In order to maintain the proper component balance, contact surface taper, and heat transfer, manual transmission flywheels are NOT to be machined.

1. Clean the flywheel in solvent.

Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.

2. Dry the flywheel with compressed air.
3. Inspect the manual transmission flywheel for the following:
- Damaged ring gear teeth
- 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.
- A scored, grooved or damaged friction surface
