Re: cracked flywheel Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Wed, 12 Jul 2006 03:17:43 In Reply to: cracked flywheel, David, Tue, 11 Jul 2006 19:00:54 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
There is no flywheel on the engines mated to automatic transmissions. These engines use a flexplate, looks somewhat like a flywheel (they both have a ring gear around the perimeter which the starter engages) but constructed from a metal stamping and is about 50lbs lighter.
How do you know yours is cracked? Has the transmisison already been removed to access it?
This is a guess only, but a knowledgeable Tech should be able to drop the transmission, unbolt the damaged flexplate, install a new flexplate, and re-install the tranny in 4 to 5 hours. Assuming $100/hour for labor and $200 for parts totals $700. Just a guess.
