The Volvo S40 Flywheel converts the raw combustion pulse into useful motion by locking in rotational energy, providing a starter ring to crank, and putting the clutch on a solid surface to hold. It rotates with each engine cycle, attached to the crankshaft, and its mass counterbalances the sudden spurts from each cylinder in the engine to provide the driveshaft with a continuous flow of power. Once a driver twists the key, the starter motor engages the ring gear, which rotates the Flywheel and turns the crank until the engine fires, after which an overrunning clutch releases the gear. The heat can mark or scar the Flywheel face every time the clutch disc grabs against it during a gear change, and repeated heat can cause the disc to be scored or warped. It can be repaired through machining; however, Volvo permits only a small amount of material to be removed when correcting runout, and a new part is usually safe. Volvo has over the years employed two styles. The old solid disc is a one-piece steel disc, which is sometimes resurfaced. Newer vehicles tend to have a dual mass design, which places springs between the primary and secondary plates that suppress vibrations and enhance the feel of the shift, an aspect that is greatly appreciated in smaller sedans such as the second generation S40. Nevertheless, the internal damper may fail, and factory recommendations normally prohibit resurfacing, so replacement is the only remedy. Solid or dual mass, to ensure a Volvo engine will kick-start and shift smoothly, it is important to have a clean friction face and good ring gear.
