4. OPERATION
4.1 Remove gearbox from the vehicle as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Note: The dual mass ywheel is in two parts of which, one half is connected to the gearbox and thus will be removed
when the gearbox is removed from the vehicle, and the other is connected to the crankshaft. Testing is carried out on the
engine side.
4.2 TEST1:TESTINGTHEROTATIONALARCSPRINGS/DAMPERSPRINGSFREEPLAY(Refertogs.2&3)
4.2.1 Attach the slotted bar (1) across the ywheel using the adaptors (2) supplied so that the angular torque gauge (3) is in
the centre of the ywheel, see g.2. If the ywheel has an odd amount of xing screws, see g.3, it is not possible to
mount centrally and a reading will have to be taken by counting the ring gear teeth movement then working out the
degrees of free play (see below).
4.2.2 Lock the ywheel using the Ring Gear Locking Tools (7) to stop the ywheel rotating under test. Spacers/washers may
be required to align the locking tool with the ring gear.
4.2.3 Lightly (using the palm of your hand) turn the Slotted Bar (1) in either direction by the handle to nd (start to compress)
the Arc spring inside the ywheel. Then remove the pressure and allow the ywheel to return to the rest position. Zero
the angular torque gauge (3) and lightly rotate in the opposite direction to nd the opposite spring, then allow the ywheel
to return to the rest position, then take a reading from the degree plate. When rotating, a thud may be heard which is
common and not a faulty ywheel.
Note: The Arc springs are packed in grease, so a small amount of grease from the vent holes is normal but excessive
grease will mean that the ywheel needs replacing.
4.3 TEST2:TESTINGTHECENTREBEARING/BUSHFORWEAR-ROCK(REFERtog.4)
4.3.1 Fit DTI gauge (4) using the bracket provided (5) to the engine and locate the DTI tip onto one of the adaptors (2) that is
holding the Slotted bar (1) onto the ywheel. Pre-load the DTI gauge, pull the slotted bar handle gently towards you and
set the DTI gauge to zero. Then gently (using nger and thumb) rock the slotted bar handle back and forth to check the
wear in the bush, taking the reading from the DTI. When checking for wear we are checking for rock NOT end oat which
on some ywheels is normal.
4.3.2 Once the two measurements have been taken, it is important to check the tolerance to the specic vehicle being worked
on using the manufacturer's specications. If the measurement exceeds the manufacturer's specications the Dual Mass
Flywheel will need to be replaced.
Examples of readings are: Maximum Freeplay 15° and Maximum Rock 1.6mm, but tolerances will vary depending on the
vehicle being worked on.
Calculationfordegreesrotationbycountingtheywheelteeth(example)
If a ywheel has 112 teeth and freeplay is 4 teeth.
360degrees/112teeth = 3.214 X 4 = 12.85 degrees
