Do you need to replace the flywheel when replacing a clutch?
Clutch Replacement While you may not need to replace the flywheel when replacing your clutch, it is always a good idea to inspect it. If there are radial cracks or deep grooves, then it’s definitely time for a new one. If you’ve noticed any of the above, it may be time to order a new flywheel.
Can I drive my car with a bad flywheel?
Initially, driving around with a bad flywheel in your car, truck, or SUV might not be the end of the world. It could still be capable of doing its job effectively when it first starts to exhibit the bad flywheel symptoms. It might even smell like your clutch is burning up when you have a bad flywheel.
Can a flywheel be replaced on a Subaru Outback?
As far as I can tell, all clutch kits come with the clutch, throwout bearing and pilot bearing, so they’ll all get replaced. I’ll have the flywheel replaced too .No way I’m replacing the clutch and not doing the whole kit’n kaboodle.
Which is the best clutch fork for a Subaru Outback?
I always use Exedy clutch kits (flywheel, pressure plate, clutch, throw out bearing and spigot bearing). If you are changing from a dual mass flywheel to a solid flywheel Exedy also provide a genuine Subaru clutch fork.
What happens when you dump the clutch in a Subaru?
Sorry about the Aussie slang. “Dumping the clutch“ is indeed letting out the clutch quickly BUT you also need to increase the revs to prevent the motor from stalling. In a non all wheel drive vehicle this results in massive wheel spin (a burnout) which is also achievable in a Subaru if you are on a loose surface such as gravel.
Can a solid flywheel be used to replace a dual mass clutch?
The “groaning” is the multiple springs in the dual mass flywheel stretching to their limit. As the dual mass flywheels are twice the price of a solid flywheel I have always chosen to replace the flywheel with a solid one when replacing the clutch. I have noticed no difference in clutch performance with the solid flywheel installed.
