There are a number of signs that can tell us that the dual-mass flywheel has run into some problems. If symptoms occur, it is always best to replace it as soon as possible. The first sign is the presence of damage to the surface of the flywheel, which often occurs in the form of veins on cast iron or metal. The presence of fat and color changes also testify to the need to change it. Furthermore, always pay close attention to the condition of the crown of the primary flywheel. This too can be damaged, requiring the replacement of the entire piece.
For Heavy Duty Purposes
Usually, the dual-mass flywheel is able to withstand easily with its heavy dut in the city. If you use the car for long journeys, the life of flywheel can be increased. Often the replacement of the clutch also gives you the pretext to check the condition of the flywheel. When you replace it, in fact, you should assure that the dual-mass flywheel is in good condition. On the contrary, the new clutch could break causing considerable economic damage. It appears to be possible to save on the purchase of the new flywheel, but not much. In fact, the market offers regenerated dual-mass flywheels, which generally involve savings lots of dollars.
To Replace The Flywheel
However, they are very reliable pieces. In fact, the companies that deal with flywheel regeneration replace the springs and bearings, also restoring the friction surfaces of the discs. To start, remove the axle shaft from the rear of the transmission before disconnecting it from the differential. The axle shaft is connected to the differential by two U-bolts, which have a single nut at both ends. It is, therefore, necessary to proceed by removing four bolts, then extracting the axle shaft from the differential. At this point, it is necessary to place a container under the rear part of the transmission into which the transmission shaft enters. Once this is done, you should pull the transmission shaft towards the rear of the car to remove it and let the gearbox fluid flow into the container. The next step is to place a jack under the gearbox and lift the jack until it presses against the gear oil pan.
Necessary To Disconnect
It is, therefore, necessary to disconnect the gearbox from the engine by unscrewing the nuts that are used to fix the transmission torque converter to the rear of the flywheel, unscrew the fixing bolts used to fix the gearbox to the engine, remove the flywheel fixing bolts and remove the fly from the crankshaft. The dual-mass flywheel should be positioned against the rear of the engine. After positioning it, you need to install and tighten the fixing bolts. At this point, it is necessary to fix the gearbox to the engine by pushing it against the back of this with the transmission socket. The torque converter fixing nuts should then be inserted and tightened. Screw the gearbox bolts through the lantern at the rear of the engine and then tighten the bolts with a wrench. Once this is done, the transmission shaft can be mounted by sliding it into the rear of the gearbox. It is, therefore, necessary to position the rear part of the transmission shaft against the differential and then install and tighten the four nuts on the two U-bolts with a wrench.
