Give a new clutch a smooth, flat surface to engage against with the LuK Clutch Flywheel LFW478, a new rigid flywheel and a practical alternative to resurfacing the old one. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2017 Jeep Wrangler and the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK with the V6-3.6L engine, and each vehicle uses one.

  • Smooth, flat friction surface: Provides the even face that proper clutch operation depends on.
  • Built to OE specifications: Every component, including the 127-tooth ring gear, is engineered and made to Original Equipment specifications. The ring gear chamfer matches OE.
  • Dynamically balanced: The solid flywheel is balanced to help minimize vibration and support clutch performance.
  • Always new: LuK flywheels are new units. LuK's engineering and quality materials are designed to contribute to longer service life for the flywheel and clutch system.

A flywheel bolts to the crankshaft, gives the clutch disc its friction surface, and carries the ring gear that the starter engages. This flywheel comes with dowel pins. Replacing the flywheel with a new one when you install a clutch set is a cost-effective alternative to resurfacing the original.
