Bad flywheel symptoms

A flywheel is subject to wear due to extensive use. This means that it can eventually break. A common defect is that hairline cracks occur. With a dual mass flywheel, another common defect is that the springs are no longer strong enough. As a result, the two parts will no longer follow each other smoothly as they should. A bad flywheel can be recognized by a number of symptoms;

Gear slipping; changing gears while driving

Burning smell

Clutch chatter

Clutch pedal vibrates

Clutch drags

Ticking sound after engine shutdown

Do you recognize one of these symptoms? Then we would advise you not to keep on driving with your car for too long. Driving too long with a bad flywheel can lead to greater damages to your car. Defects to the flywheel can be caused by factors such as your driving style, the lifespan of the part or frequently driving low engine speeds. Also, a malfunctioning injector or a defective engine support can lead to a defect to the flywheel. When the flywheel is broken, you will have to replace it. However, before replacing the flywheel you should first determine the cause of the defect.

Flywheel replacement

When the flywheel turns out to be defect, it is time to replace it. Replacing a flywheel is quite a chore, but doing it yourself can prevent a high bill at the garage. To determine if the flywheel is indeed defect, it is necessary to disassemble the gearbox and the clutch. When replacing the wheel, we would recommend you to also replace the clutch and the pressure group. These car parts often have a hard time when the flywheel is malfunctioning. If you do not replace the clutch and pressure group at the same time, changes are that you will have to do so within a short amount of time. Does it seem that the flywheel is not broken due to normal wear or age? Then make sure to find out what caused the wheel to be broken. If you do not check this and only replace the wheel, changes are that the problems will continue or arise later on.
