The following causes for cracked flexplate failures: 1 Out of balance engine or torque converter. Teeth can also break when engine is running and starter is engaged. Matheo Cevada Teacher. What is the flywheel in a car? A flywheel is a mechanical device specifically designed to efficiently store rotational energy kinetic energy. Flywheels resist changes in rotational speed by their moment of inertia. For example, flywheels are used in reciprocating engines because the active torque from the individual pistons is intermittent.
How does a dual mass flywheel Work? A dual - mass flywheel DMF is a rotating mechanical device that is used to provide continuous energy rotational energy in systems where the energy source is not continuous, the same way as a conventional flywheel acts, but damping any violent variation of torque or revolutions that could cause an unwanted vibration.
Denisa Kreindel Teacher. How long does a clutch last? It's a difficult question to answer really, as it all depends on your driving style. Most clutches are designed to last approximately 60, miles before they need to be replaced.
Some may need replacing at 30, and some others can keep going well over , miles, but this is fairly uncommon. Shaomei Mouskawic Teacher. What is clutch drag? Dragging Clutch. A dragging clutch is one that fails to disengage the clutch disk from the flywheel when the driver pushes in the clutch pedal. When the driver attempts to shift gears, he or she can't because the still-engaged clutch is still spinning along with the engine. Boubkar Bloggs Reviewer. What is the purpose of a Flexplate?
A flexplate or flex plate is a metal disk that connects the output from an engine to the input of a torque converter in a car equipped with an automatic transmission. It takes the place of the flywheel found in a conventional manual transmission setup. Are Flexplates balanced? Almost all small-block Chevys are internally balanced. They do not need to be balanced together, just balanced alone. Jim Arede Reviewer. What does a torque converter do? In brief, the torque converter is a type of fluid coupling, which allows the engine to spin somewhat independently of the transmission.
It is responsible for pressurizing automatic transmission fluid, a pressurization that supplies the force necessary to shift transmission gears. Mirko Priwall Supporter. Why are flywheels so expensive? The idea is that the rubber creates smoother operation of the clutch release and reduces vibration in modern cars.
The main reason these jobs tend to be more expensive than with typical older type clutch jobs is the price of the parts. A standard style flywheel is much more durable so does not often need to be changed. Ghailan Trechera Supporter.
What is a flywheel in a clutch? The flywheel is a metal disc which is fitted directly onto the crankshaft between the engine and the clutch. Its purpose is to help provide a smooth transfer of power from the engine to the drive train. In essence, the flywheel gives your vehicle enhanced momentum and a smoother driving experience. Bastiaan Tschacksch Beginner. Why do cars have dual mass flywheels? The dual mass flywheel , or DMF, is designed to protect the driveline from the torsional vibrations of the engine.
It's fitted mostly to diesel engines and high torque output petrol engines. Ultimately, its aim is to make the engine starting process, the idling process and the gearchange smoother. Richard Nibur Beginner. Do petrol cars have dual mass flywheel? A Dual Mass Flywheel DMF is now fitted to many modern vehicles , they are used mainly in conjunction with the diesel engine but they can also be found in certain cars with petrol engines. The purpose of the DMF is to absorb engine vibrations far more efficiently than the conventional method, the clutch driven plate.
Here are some of the most common signs of a bad flywheel. If you shift to a new gear and then notice that the engine speed RPM increases much faster than your ground speed, this is called gear slippage.
Since the flywheel and the pressure plate both have friction surfaces that are designed to grip the clutch, a slipping flywheel may feel like a slipping clutch. If the gear keeps slipping when you change it, then it will certainly impact your driving ability and eventually damage your clutch.
Sometimes you will have the opposite problem with your gears. The flywheel would need to be in pretty bad shape for this symptom to occur, and other transmission components may be damaged as well. If there is a burning smell which consumes your passenger cabin, this could be attributed to many possible causes. A bad flywheel could be one of those causes because of all the heat generated from the friction in the clutch. If your clutch pedal is experiencing lots of vibrations, then your flywheel is likely going bad.
The vibrations will eventually get so bad that you will be able to feel them on the floor rather than just from the clutch pedal. As you drive your vehicle, the flywheel could end up with excessive runout over time, which leaves the surface feeling warped as you engage the clutch.
Clutches that are worn down to the rivets will damage the flywheel. A damaged flywheel may have a bluish color as the metal is heated far past its operating temperature. There may even be smears of metal on the surface as the flywheel has heated and cooled.
Some flywheels contain springs, such as dual mass flywheels. Dual mass flywheels will likely need replacement, as they cannot be resurfaced like a standard flywheel. If the teeth on the flywheel are damaged, the flywheel may have trouble engaging with the starter motor. This could make it difficult or impossible to start the vehicle.
If you are having issues starting your vehicle, you may want to take a look at your starter as well. An aftermarket flywheel that is too light for the vehicle or the driver will make it much easier to stall the vehicle and could give you a rough idle. On very light flywheels, you may even stall the vehicle simply by pushing the clutch in, just because the engine speed drops too fast for the ECU to add additional air and fuel to compensate.
If a flywheel is unbalanced, it may vibrate the whole powertrain even while the clutch is engaged. If you recently replaced the clutch, flywheel, or pressure plate, make sure you torqued all bolts to spec and applied thread locker if it was called for in the factory service manual. A flywheel that comes loose or disintegrates while driving is incredibly dangerous, as there is a considerable amount of energy stored in the flywheel. The replacement cost of a flywheel will depend on the make and model of your vehicle.
Dual mass flywheels or other complicated implementations are more expensive. This will not be a short job to perform, so the mechanic may be spending close to 4 to 5 hours.
