LuK: New flywheels are a smart alternative! The flywheel is an integral part of clutch replacement. It must provide a smooth, flat surface for proper clutch operation. Pairing your clutch set with a new LuK flywheel is a smart, cost-effective alternative to resurfacing. All new – never remanufactured – every component is engineered and manufactured to OE specifications, including ring gear and dowel pins.

Sachs Flywheels are made from high quality steel forging and are designed to meet or exceed the manufacturers specifications for quality and performance.

Product Features:

• OE quality and direct fit application
• Made from high quality steel
• Designed to reduce clutch chatter and vibration
• Dynamically balanced

LuK dual-mass flywheels absorb engine vibrations before they are transmitted to the driveline where they can create gear rattle. These units feature a built-in damper designed to isolate engine torque spikes and prevent transmission damage. By design, dual-mass flywheels cannot be resurfaced. This all makes the LuK dual mass flywheel the ideal solution. With one drawback: the higher the mass reactance of the vibrating masses, the more excessive the resonance increase and associated torque peaks. With the dual mass flywheel, this would be easily perceived when starting and stopping the engine; much more easily than with a conventional clutch system. Additionally: the smaller flymass of the engine has less of a stabilizing effect on the speed fluctuation of the engine. Thanks to decades of experience in clutch building, the LuK specialists were able to find an excellent solution to this problem. An additional damping device effectively prevents resonance overload. In normal operation, however, this additional damping device has no function and the torsional vibrations of the engine are filtered out by spring dampers. Friction and spring rate – the correct ratio is important. For optimal vibration isolation and soft resonance passage when starting and stopping the engine, the ratio between friction and spring rate must be optimal. The length of the springs is a key factor: The softer a spring, the more efficiently vibrations are isolated. The extra-long springs of the latest generation of dual mass flywheels significantly reduce the spring rate compared to a first generation dual mass flywheel. In routine driving operations, excessive resonance increases are kept almost completely away from the gearbox.

Product Features:

• Top driving comfort
• Absorbs vibrations
• Prevents noise
• Enables comfortable, low-revs driving
• Saves fuel
• Relieves crankshaft and gearbox

M/T Flywheel

Flywheel hot spots can cause chatter. Resurfacing a flywheel doesn’t always remove hot spots. The flywheel may look shiny and pretty, but the hot spots will often still be there. Service the System by replacing the flywheel and the clutch set at the same time. All flywheels come with a new ring gear.

Product Features:

• Casting process closely monitored to ensure uniform density and balance retention
• Eliminates chance of chatter due to hot spots not always removed by resurfacing
• New ring gear ensures positive starter engagement
• Engineered to properly fit the intended application with no modifications

Vehicles with automatic transmissions have a flex plate. The flex plates connects the engine and transmission. Most flex plates are made of a thick piece of sheet metal with bolt holes for the torque converter and teeth for the starter. The job of a flex plate is to allow for expansion of the torque converter as engine RPM increases. The constant expansion and contraction of a flex plate over time can result cracks and/or shearing of the flex plate. A damaged flex plate can create serious (expensive) damage. Broken flex plates can not be repaired, they must be replaced. ATP flex plates are made of high quality steel and contain the correct bolt hole spacing and ring gear teeth just like the original part to ensure long life and durability

Product Features:

• Balanced to factory specs
• Fit and function like the original parts
• Restores normal operation

Dual Mass Flywheels (DMF) are made up of many components and are not meant to be re-surfaced or re-ground. When they are worn out, they will slip, sometimes confused with clutch slippage. Please call our tech line on how to identify a worn out dual mass flywheel.

Product Features:

• All components are closely matched as an assembly to ensure maximum dampening
• Extends transmission gear life by absorbing drive train vibrations
• New ring gear ensures positive starter engagement
• Engineered to properly fit the intended application with no modifications

LuK: Don’t gamble – stay with the original LuK DMF! The LuK DMF prevents damages solid flywheels may cause. The LUK Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) is individually fine-tuned for every type of car. The risks of using solid flywheels are numerous – from increased wear of engine mounts through gearbox failure to damaged crankshafts.
