Volvo 740 Flywheel
The Volvo 740 Flywheel is a heavy metal disc whose key strength is that of the smoothing of engine power as well as that of connecting the starter and the clutch to ensure that it will be reliable to drive. Clamped directly on the crankshaft, it stores rotational energy, and hence the uneven bursts of combustion of the engine are perceived as smooth, and the ring gear synchronizes with the starter motor to move the crank wheel when the key is released. The flat face also acts as a gripping area of the clutch disc and holds the pressure plate that allows changing of gears without engine cut-off. Over the decades of Volvo manufacture two broad types of Flywheels have emerged, the conventional solid and the more complicated dual mass. The hard cast is a single machine part that can be machined somewhat to repair small scars or distortion, but wear, heat cracks, or ring gear tearing can be so severe as to require complete replacement. A dual mass Flywheel is an improvement, made of primary and secondary masses connected with spring dampers, in that it dampens vibration and smooths shifts, particularly when the torque is diesel-like, but it cannot be resurfaced and the internal springs may fail, resulting in noise and shuddering requiring a new dual mass Flywheel. Whichever style, the repeated heating of the surface caused by clutch engagement thins the disc and ultimately drives Volvo owners to check runout, look at and test hot spots, and decide which course optimally maintains the 740 drivability and in the process leaves their Volvo smooth.

Volvo 740 Flywheel Parts and Q&A
- Q: How does the Flywheel process work for replacing a damaged ring gear on Volvo 740?A:The ring gear is engaged by the starter gear at the time of engine starting and any damage such as broken and chipped teeth or cracks must be detected and repaired, one of the causes being the starter. In vehicles with automatic transmission, the ring gear belongs to the flexplate and cannot be replaced, whereas in manual gearbox vehicles, the ring gear on the flywheel can be taken off and replaced (usually by heating it to 450F and handling it carefully). It is often easier to buy a complete flywheel and ring gear assembly than to make a replacement. To replace the ring gear, first disconnect the negative battery cable, raise and support the vehicle and remove the transmission. If there is a manual transmission, the clutch plate and disc should be removed followed by the bolts that attach the flywheel or ring gear to the crankshaft to remove flywheel or ring gear. Inspect the flywheel for any cracks, grooves or bluing and the ring gear for any burrs or worn teeth and replace if found. It is possible to remove the burrs with a mill file. For replacement of a ring gear, drill a hole between two cogs on the ring gear without damaging the flywheel, mount the flywheel in a vise with soft jaws and split the ring gear at the hole using a chisel. Wearing heavy gloves and using tongs for safety, heat the new ring gear to about 450 degrees Fahrenheit, then position the ring gear with the beveled side facing the flywheel, tapping the ring gear until it is flush with a brass drift. Allow it to cool in the air without any cooling processes which involve water or other fluids. Finally, install the flywheel, tighten the bolts in a crisscross manner to specification, reinstall the transmission, lower the vehicle and reconnect the negative battery cable.
