Description

The MAN 51014016267 is a flywheel housing, a critical component within the drivetrain system. It's specifically designed for use with gearboxes and serves as the mounting point for the flywheel, connecting it to the engine's crankshaft. This housing ensures proper alignment and structural support for the flywheel and clutch assembly. Constructed in Germany, this flywheel housing provides robust performance and durability, contributing to efficient power transfer and reduced vibration. Its dimensions are 86 x 500 x 508 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This part basically seals the back end of your engine where the flywheel and clutch assembly live. It provides a secure mounting point for those components, and it keeps the oil inside where it needs to be. It's a pretty simple piece, but crucial. It’s also sometimes called a bellhousing, just so you know if someone uses that term. Think of it as a bridge connecting your engine to your transmission. The engine spins, and that rotation needs to get to the transmission to move the wheels. The flywheel housing is right there in the middle, housing the flywheel that starts the whole process. It lines everything up properly and makes sure the power transfer is smooth. It also helps dampen vibration, making for a quieter ride.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s important because if this housing fails, you’ll notice pretty quickly. Usually, you'll get significant oil leaks, which is never good. A cracked or damaged housing can throw everything off alignment, leading to all sorts of problems with your clutch, transmission, and even engine performance. It really acts like a shield, protecting those internal parts. If it goes, you could end up needing a much more expensive repair down the line. You can usually find a replacement pretty easily, and places like Fixparts Online carry a good range of them. It's a relatively straightforward repair, but definitely something you don't want to ignore.
