Ford Focus Clutch Flywheels

Located in-between the engine and transmission, the flywheel of your Ford Focus provides smooth power transfer and performs some other tasks. First, its ring gear enables the starter to crank the engine. Second, the mass of the flywheel creates rotational inertia used to smoothen engine vibrations and prevent the engine from stalling when you release the gas pedal. There are two common types, a single mass (solid) and dual mass flywheel (DMS). The former features a simpler construction, has no moving parts, and usually costs less. As for the DMS, it has a more complex design and better dampens engine vibration, however, it usually features a shorter lifespan and higher price.

Meanwhile, the main function fulfilled by each flywheel is torque transfer, as this very part provides a friction surface for the clutch disk positioned between the flywheel and pressure plate. Whatever kind of flywheel is installed in your Focus, if this part needs replacement, our online store has a great number of good offerings. Accuracy and quality are the main factors when choosing a flywheel, so our assortment of Ford Focus clutch flywheels and related hardware includes lots of products sourced from leading brands.
