Important: In order to maintain the proper component balance, contact surface taper, and heat transfer, manual transmission flywheels are NOT to be machined.
- Clean the flywheel in solvent.
Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.
- Dry the flywheel with compressed air.
- Inspect the manual transmission flywheel for the following:
| • | Damaged ring gear teeth |
| • | 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. |
