The flywheel is a crucial component in your vehicle, performing several very important tasks. The first job the flywheel assists in daily is in getting your engine started and ready to go. The starter uses the flywheel to turn the engine crankshaft, its pinion gear engaging with the ring gear at the perimeter of the flywheel. As the starter uses the ring gear to turn the flywheel, which is mounted on the engine crankshaft, the crankshaft is rotated through several revolutions, moving the engine parts through the combustion cycle to start the engine. After the engine is started and has begun to operate on its own, the flywheel will use its precisely weighted and balanced disc to keep the crankshaft turning smoothly between cycles of combustion, preventing it from slowing between piston firings. The flywheel has yet another important role to play, helping to form the connection between the engine and transmission that allows the torque power produced by the engine to travel through the transmission to the rest of the drive train to reach the drive wheels, where it is used to propel the vehicle. The flywheel is quite durable, but eventually daily driving will take its toll, wearing away at the teeth of its ring gear or causing stress cracking in its disc.
