Chrysler 300 Clutch Flywheels

In a physical sense, a flywheel is an accumulator of kinetic energy, which rotates with the crankshaft while increasing the moment of inertia and thus resisting the fluctuations of rotational speed. It’s a part of the manual transmission architecture that can be found wherever the driver copes with three pedals instead of two. Mounted on the engine crankshaft, the flywheel of your Chrysler 300 forms one of the frictional surfaces that the clutch disc works with. While increasing the moment of inertia of the rotating crankshaft, the flywheel also enables you to start the engine thanks to its toothed rim meshing with the starter motor gear.

The problems with the flywheel are pretty rare, as this tough piece of metal can endure quite a lot. But if any of the issues appear, than it's always something rather serious and requiring the immediate fix. A damaged flywheel and the resultant loss of balance will generate enormous forces and may cause catastrophic consequences for the transmission. Besides, the toothed rim can wear over the years and create troubles with starting the engine. With our Chrysler 300 clutch flywheels & components, you have a huge number of high-quality replacements to address all of the issues.
