Engine Flywheel Cleaning and Inspection





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
