DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The dual mass flywheel is bolted on the rear of the crankshaft with eight bolts. A dowel on the crankshaft flange
ensures that the flywheel is correctly located. A ring gear is fitted on the outer diameter of the flywheel. The ring
gear is not serviceable. Thirty blind holes are drilled in the outer diameter of the flywheel adjacent to the ring gear.
The holes are positioned at 10°intervals with four 20°spaces. The holes are used by the crankshaft position
sensor for engine management.
The dual mass flywheel is used to insulate the gearbox from torsional and transient vibrations produced by the
engine. The flywheel comprises primary and secondary flywheels with the drive between the two transferred by a
torsional damper which comprises four coil springs. The springs are located in the inside diameter of the primary
flywheel. Two of the springs are of smaller diameter and fit inside the larger diameter springs.
The primary flywheel locates the ring gear and is attached to the crankshaft flange with eight bolts. The two pairs
of coil springs are located in a recess in the flywheel between two riveted retainers. A roller bearing is pressed
onto the central boss of the primary flywheel and retained with a riveted plate. The bearing provides the mounting
for the secondary flywheel.
The secondary flywheel comprises two parts; an outer flywheel which provides the friction surface for the clutch
drive plate and an inner drive plate which transfers the drive from the primary flywheel, via the coil springs, to the
outer flywheel. The two components of the secondary flywheel are secured to each other with rivets. The inner
drive plate is located between the two pairs of coil springs and can rotate on the ball bearing in either direction
against the combined compression force of the four coil springs. Under high torque loading conditions the
secondary flywheel can rotate in either direction up to 70°in relation to the primary flywheel.
The operating face of the secondary flywheel is machined to provide a smooth surface for the drive plate to
engage on. Three dowels and six studs and nuts provide for the location and attachment of the pressure plate.
