DESCRIPTION

1.6L Equipped Models





1.6L Equipped Models utilize a conventional flywheel assembly (1), which is a solid rotating mass fastened to the rear of the crankshaft (3). The flywheel also incorporates an integral starter ring gear.

2.0L Turbo Diesel Equipped Models





The Dual-Mass Flywheel (DMF) is utilized on 2.2L TD/5-speed models. Models equipped with the turbocharged 2.4L Engine option also utilize a Dual-Mass Flywheel, but it is a serviceable part of the Modular Clutch Assembly. Description. The DMF consists of two decoupled masses (primary and secondary mass) which are connected via a spring/damping system. The primary flywheel mass (3) is bolted to the crankshaft. The secondary mass (4) face serves as the driving member to the clutch disc. Internal springs between the flywheels are used to couple the masses while dampening energy. The flywheel also incorporates the ring gear around the outer circumference to mesh with the starter to permit engine cranking.
