When replacing a flywheel or flexplate, it’s crucial to research and select the correct part for your application. An improperly balanced rotating assembly can cause significant damage to your engine.
What You’ll Need:
- Replacement flywheel or flexplate
- New ring gear
- Flywheel/flexplate bolts (optional)
- Loctite (for securing bolts)
Helpful Tips:
-
Match the Replacement:
- Save your old flywheel or flexplate to match it against the new one. This ensures proper fitment and compatibility.
-
Know the Difference:
- Flywheels: Feature a machined surface for clutch engagement.
