Welcome!
The engine flywheel is one of the most important parts in the design of a car engine and therefore, if the flywheel is severely worn, or if it incorrect installation, the car, when starting from a standstill, begins to “slip - this means that when starting from a standstill or while driving, the engine speed will jump and the car itself will not accelerate, but will only roar.” Therefore, the flywheel must be changed in a timely manner, since driving on a worn one will bring pleasure but only bring discomfort.
Note!
To replace, you will need to stock up on: A screwdriver, as well as an L-shaped socket wrench and, if possible, also take a torque wrench with you!
When should you replace the flywheel?
It must be replaced when:
How will the car behave with a worn flywheel?
- As noted earlier, the first thing that will most likely happen is that the clutch will slip on the worn flywheel.
- And also, most likely, when starting from a stop, the car will move, but this will be accompanied by strong vibration, which as a result will be transmitted to the entire car.
How to replace the flywheel on a VAZ 2101-VAZ 2107?
Removal:
1) First, remove the transmission from the car. (For information on how to remove the gearbox, see the article entitled: “Replacing the gearbox”)
3) Next, secure the flywheel with a screwdriver so that it does not turn when loosening the bolts. After fixing, use a socket wrench to remove all six bolts securing the flywheel to the car engine.
Note!
Unscrew the bolts crosswise, because this will be much more convenient!
4) Now remove the flywheel itself and remove the support washer along with the flywheel.
Note!
When you remove the flywheel, be sure to look at the mark “indicated by the letter A in the photo” before removing it and then remember or take a photo of how the flywheel is installed relative to this mark, in order to install the new flywheel in the same way! (Be sure to read the “” paragraph at the bottom of the article)
Installation:
1) First install the new flywheel in the same position as the old one. (Determine this position by the mark)
2) Then install all remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
Note!
When it comes to tightening the flywheel mounting bolts, tighten them evenly, crosswise. And when all the bolts are tightened, check how the flywheel is positioned; there should be no slopes or distortions, otherwise this will lead to rapid wear!
Important!
After removing the old flywheel, try not to rotate the crankshaft, otherwise installing a new flywheel may be difficult.
Note!
But if you still crank the crankshaft, then in this case set the piston of the fourth cylinder to the “TDC - Top Dead Center” position! (For information on how to set the piston to the “Top Dead Center”, see the article entitled: “Installing the piston of the fourth cylinder to the TDC position”)
After the piston is installed, install the new flywheel in its place, strictly vertically with the mark up and nothing else!

Question: Where is the friction surface of the flywheel, as well as the ring gear, and all six mounting bolts?
Answer: A – Flywheel friction surface.
1 – Ring gear.
2 – Flywheel mounting bolts.
A detailed procedure for removing the flywheel on a VAZ 2110 car, troubleshooting it (identifying defects and eliminating them if possible) and reinstalling them.
Over time, our car has a significant mileage, problems with the clutch begin, and it deteriorates. Usually the flywheel does not require replacement until 200-300 thousand kilometers of the car or even more, but if it begins to fail after 50 or 100 thousand km, then you need to look for the reason for its rapid wear (this could be harsh driving, weather conditions or clutch defects that need to be repaired). The procedure for replacing the flywheel itself is not complicated, but it does require a certain amount of time, because because of this part you will have to dismantle the gearbox and disassemble the clutch (read about it on VAZ cars).
Removing and troubleshooting the flywheel:
1. Before starting work, remove the battery (see article) from the car, drain the oil from the gearbox and remove it.
2. Remove the gearbox and disassemble it.
3. Now that you have reached the flywheel, unscrew the six bolts securing it. But to do this, put back one bolt securing the gearbox and insert a screwdriver into the teeth of the flywheel with one hand so that it does not rotate while unscrewing the bolts.
4. While holding the flywheel with one hand, remove the bolt locking plate from the final bolt with the other.
5. Now carefully remove the flywheel from the crankshaft flange.
7. If everything is in order with the rim of the teeth, then switch your gaze to the adjacent surface of the driven disk; it should not have deep abrasions or other defects.
8. Also carry out similar troubleshooting with reverse side driven disk, or rather, look at the adjacent crankshaft flange.
If such distortions are visible in points 7 or 8, then the flywheel must be replaced with a new one or repaired - sanded using special equipment in a car repair shop.
9. To produce precise check or repairing the clutch driven disc, take it to a car workshop that has the required equipment. Actions and recommendations for repairing the flywheel:
- The defect of the adjacent surface of the clutch disc (3) should not be more than 0.06 mm.
- The parallelism between the upper contact surface of the driven disk and the lower surface (2) for fastening the clutch should not be more than 0.1 mm.
- On the clutch disc planes (1 and 3), the runout should not be more than 0.1 mm.
- When cleaning the surface of the flywheel (3) from abrasions and scratches, you should know that the maximum possible removal of a layer of metal is no more than 1 mm.
- At the same time as side (3), surface (2) should also be sanded. To do this, maintain a step between them with a height of 0.5±0.1 mm. When grooving, keep the adjacent surfaces (1 and 3) parallel.
