420409307 Audi Flange

It joins two shafts or pipes together. Think of it like a strong handshake between two parts. It allows for rotation while maintaining alignment. Sometimes it’ll have studs or bolts coming out of it to actually secure everything together, other times it's just the flange itself that lines things up and another component clamps down on it. It also allows for easy disassembly for servicing without damaging the connected parts. In the drivetrain, specifically in the gearbox, flanges are used to connect things like the driveshaft to the transmission, or different sections of the transmission itself. They ensure power gets transferred smoothly from the engine to the wheels. You’ll see them connecting various components, basically anywhere rotating power needs to move from one piece to another. If a flange fails, you’re looking at a loss of power, vibration, and potentially serious damage to the gearbox or driveshaft. It acts like a shield protecting those connections. You’ll notice if one fails pretty quickly - usually a loud clunking or banging sound, or a sudden inability to accelerate. Sometimes it's a vibration you can feel through the floor. They're a pretty critical piece, and keeping them in good shape is a smart move. You can often find replacements, like this one, over at Fixparts Online, but honestly any good parts supplier should carry them. Your satisfaction is our priority: Flange (MPN 420409307) includes a 12-month warranty!
