Flywheel Assembly
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Flywheel Assembly (Part Number: QC000078) is a crucial component of a truck's engine system. It is responsible for storing rotational energy, which is transferred from the engine to the transmission and ultimately to the wheels. The flywheel assembly consists of a heavy metal disc, typically made of cast iron or steel, that is bolted to the rear of the engine's crankshaft. It has a ring gear attached to its outer edge, which engages with the starter motor's pinion gear to turn over the engine during starting. The flywheel assembly also provides a smooth surface for the clutch disc to engage against when shifting gears. Its weight and design contribute significantly to the truck's overall performance and fuel efficiency. Proper maintenance and periodic inspection of the flywheel assembly are essential for ensuring optimal performance and preventing premature wear or failure.
