Detailed information about the ring gear resurfacing process is in our blog post! The flywheel has the purpose of balancing the rotating mechanisms and storing energy in order to move the crankshaft. It provides power by transmitting energy to the crankshaft without any problems. The clutch disc creates friction while pressing on the flywheel, gripping the surface and allowing the car to move forward. If the ring gear wears, this grip begins to disappear. However, this process is performed to restore the appearance of the ring gear in case the materials wear out or become scratched over time.
Ring gear resurfacing is a very unhealthy and dangerous process. If the warranty is valid on the flywheel and it is surfaced, it may void the warranty. However, if not made of quality materials, the coating material may crack or fade. In some cases, this process can be more expensive than buying a new flywheel.
Dual Mass Ring Gear Resurfacing
Dual mass flywheels are generally used in heavy duty or high torque vehicles, and they increase the comfort of drivers by absorbing the vibration occurring in the engine. Flywheel gear resurfacing or restoration is not recommended. With its complex structure, it is very likely to disrupt the balance of the sensitive mechanisms and parts inside. If the balance of the springs, dampers and other parts in the internal structure is disrupted, it will significantly negatively affect the engine performance and driving performance.
For this reason, re-coating of the dual mass flywheel is strictly not recommended. If there is a problem with these gears, the problem must be diagnosed correctly or the part must be replaced if necessary. In such cases, it is very important to have it checked by experts.
Things to Consider When Changing the Flywheel
Flywheel selection is very important to ensure that it is compatible with the model and brand of your vehicle in terms of driving safety and compatibility. Its replacement is a very complex process. If you do not have experience and the necessary equipment in this regard, it is important that you leave the replacement process to a professional authorized service. In order to make the change, it is necessary to have technical knowledge and the necessary skills. Ability to install and remove parts without damaging them is required.
Therefore, it would be better to have a professional authorized service perform the replacement. A test drive should be taken after the replacement is completed to ensure that the steering is working properly and the flywheel is mounted correctly.
