Ford Thunderbird Flywheel
The Ford Thunderbird Flywheel is a heavy metal disc that saves rotational energy to smooth the power coming from the engine. It also carries a ring gear which the starter engages to get the engine cranking. The Flywheel provides the friction surface and mounting point for the clutch pressure plate. The Thunderbird Flywheel is fixed to the crankshaft which tries to even out the intermittent combustion impulses of the engine. Its ring gear teeth help in starting the engine easily. Its face is the Flywheel that helps in the engagement of the clutch disc while changing gears. The two confirmed types include a solid Flywheel and a Dual Mass version. The solid design is one piece, thus often resurfaced within strict material limits. The only area that generally requires replacement is the clutch contact area when scoring, heat spots, cracks, or warpage happen. The Dual Mass Flywheel consists of two masses: a primary one that is intrinsically connected to the crankshaft and a secondary one that is driven by the primary through spring-based dampers. These dampers absorb vibration and improve driveline smoothness. In the majority of cases, it cannot be resurfaced. It must be replaced if the internal damper or ring gear becomes damaged. Continued use with worn surfaces or damaged teeth may warrant the replacement of the defective Ford Thunderbird on models equipped with the specified Ford powertrain configuration to restore proper starting and clutch operation.

Ford Thunderbird Flywheel Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install Flywheel on Ford Thunderbird?A:Remove the transmission. For manual transmission models, take off the pressure plate and clutch disc. Remove the mounting bolts; for automatic transmission driveplates, insert a prybar through a hole to prevent the crankshaft from turning while loosening or tightening the bolts. For manual transmission models, use a large screwdriver against the starter ring gear to keep the crankshaft from turning. Pull straight back on the flywheel/driveplate to detach it from the crankshaft, being prepared for its weight. The rear cover plate can be removed if necessary. Inspect the rear oil seal and replace it if needed. Flywheels and driveplates must not be interchanged between supercharged and non-supercharged engines. If a driveplate with balance rivets needs replacement, install new balance pins or rivets in the same locations as the original. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring the driveplate is mounted with the torque converter pads facing the transmission. The staggered bolt holes allow for only one correct fit. Use Ford sealant with Teflon or an equivalent on the bolt threads and tighten them to the specified torque in a criss-cross pattern.
