97011402001 Porsche Flywheel

This thing basically smooths out the power delivery from your engine. Older cars used a regular flywheel, which is just a heavy disc. This double mass version has two rotating masses connected by springs and dampers. It’s a bit more complex, but it does a much better job of soaking up those vibrations, especially at lower RPMs. It stores rotational energy, helping keep the engine running smoothly between power strokes, and it’s a key part of the clutch assembly. Think of it as the link between your engine and transmission. The engine is firing power in pulses, but the transmission needs a consistent flow of energy to operate properly. This flywheel acts like a shock absorber, taking those pulses and turning them into a smoother, more manageable power flow. It’s absolutely essential for vehicles with manual transmissions, and many modern automatics are starting to use them as well. It's bolted directly to the engine’s crankshaft. Without a good flywheel, you’ll get a lot of shuddering, especially when starting from a stop or at low speeds. It protects other parts of your drivetrain from stress. A worn or failing flywheel can cause harsh gear changes, rattling noises, and even complete clutch failure. You’ll notice if it’s going bad because starting and stopping won't be smooth. It’s not something you want to ignore. If you’re doing a clutch job, it's generally smart to replace this at the same time, because the labor is already there. You can find a good replacement on sites like Fixparts Online, and they often have options for different makes and models. It’s a pretty vital component for a comfortable and reliable ride. Year-round reliability: Double Mass Flywheel (MPN 97011402001) includes a 12-month warranty!
