Flywheel

Important: For manual transmission applications, note the position and direction of the engine flywheel before removal. The flywheel does not use a locating pin for alignment. Mark or scribe the end of the crankshaft and the flywheel before component removal. The engine flywheel must be reinstalled to the original position and direction. The engine flywheel will not initially seat against the crankshaft flange, but will be pulled onto the crankshaft by the engine flywheel bolts. This procedure requires a 3-stage tightening process.





1. Align the mark or scribe on the crankshaft with the mark or scribe on the existing flywheel.
2. If installing a new flywheel, refer to Engine Balancing.





3. Install the engine flywheel.





4. Install the clutch assembly (3, 4).
5. Install the transmission.
