FLYWHEEL
& RING GEAR
(Manual Transmission)
Since shortly after its introduction, 912 engines have been fitted with a 'flexplate'
flywheelt which incorporates a flat steel disc bolted to the crankshaft,' the flywheel
itself bolting to the outside of the disc.
The
disc/flywheel assembly i s balanced
as a unit, and the bolts securing the two parts should never be disturbed.
