DMF098 Dual Mass Flywheel: Nissan Frontier Xterra 4.0L

This is NEW OE Dual Mass Flywheel. All Dual Mass Flywheels are manufactured by OE manufacturers. The picture (when available) is of the actual product, and shows both sides. If the flywheel you are replacing is different in any way, please contact us for technical assistance.

A dual mass flywheel (DMF) absorbs vibrations from the engine through the transmission input shaft and on through the rest of the drivetrain. The DMF minimizes Gear Roll-over noise generated in manual transmissions that are mostly filled with automatic transmission fluid these days. The reason it is called a dual mass flywheel is that there are two plates joined by a bearing and dampner spring assembly that often includes a friction pack as well. The first plate mounts to the crankshaft and has the starter ring gear on it. The second plate is where the pressure plate bolts to.

This type of flywheel is not recommended with performance clutches due to it's designed torque limitation. In addition, when used in towing applications, the weight of the towed load can adversely affect the life expectancy of this type of flywheel. As such we do not warrant this flywheel when used in either heavy towing or performance applications.

These flywheels cannot be resurfaced because the resulting grinding grit will damage the internal components.

This is a direct factory replacement part and no modifications are necessary to make it fit.

A small amount of thread locking compound is recommended on all clutch fasteners.

DO NOT use a washer with flywheel bolt.

Tighten all bolts evenly, ¼ turn at a time in a crisscross pattern until flywheel is completely drawn-up to the crankshaft.

Torque all bolts in 3 steps: First to 25 ft/lbs. then 60 ft/lbs. Final torque to: 78 - 80 ft/lbs.

For the pressure plate mounting bolts You want to be at about 25 ft/lbs. using the same cross pattern while tightening
