Subaru Flywheel Assembly ?

The flywheel is an essential component in your Subaru's engine system, particularly crucial for the vehicles mentioned below. This part is pivotal in ensuring smooth engine operation and efficient power transfer. It serves to balance the engine, store rotational energy, and reduce vibrations.

Why is the Flywheel Needed?

The flywheel provides the necessary inertia to keep the crankshaft turning between the combustion cycles, promoting smooth and balanced engine performance. It also aids in seamless gear transitions by engaging with the clutch system to transmit power from the engine to the transmission.

How Does It Work?

Attached to the rear of the engine's crankshaft, the flywheel works by absorbing excess engine power during the power stroke and releasing it during other cycles. This process stabilizes the idling and cruising speed, assuring continuous motion without jerky interruptions.

Consequences of a Broken Flywheel

If the flywheel fails, you may experience severe vibrations, difficulty in changing gears, and increased engine noise. In worst-case scenarios, a broken flywheel could lead to complete engine shutdown and transmission damage, demanding urgent replacement to avoid costly repairs.
