Flywheel Ring Gear — A toothed ring pressed onto the outer circumference of the flywheel, which meshes with the starter motor pinion to start the engine. Manufactured from high-strength carbon steel with induction-hardened teeth, this gear provides reliable engagement and wear resistance even after thousands of starting cycles. The teeth are precisely cut to ensure smooth engagement and reduce noise during cranking. The ring gear is heat-shrunk onto the flywheel, creating a permanent interference fit that prevents slippage. Regular inspection of the ring gear teeth for chipping or wear is essential to maintain starting reliability.

Cylindrical pin — A precision-ground dowel pin used to accurately locate and align the flywheel to the crankshaft flange. Manufactured from hardened tool steel, this pin fits tightly into corresponding holes, ensuring that the flywheel maintains its correct angular position relative to the crankshaft. This alignment is critical for maintaining proper clutch and transmission engagement, as well as for ensuring that the starter ring gear aligns with the starter motor. The pin also acts as a shear element, protecting the flywheel bolts from excessive stress during sudden load changes.

Flywheel — The main rotating mass of the assembly, typically a large cast-iron or ductile-iron disc that stores rotational energy and smoothes out the power pulses from the engine. It features a precision-machined friction surface for the clutch disc, a pilot bearing bore for the transmission input shaft, and a ring gear mounting surface. The flywheel is dynamically balanced to minimize vibration and ensure smooth engine operation. Its mass is optimized to provide adequate inertia for starting, idling, and low-speed pulling, while also reducing driveline shock during gear shifts. The flywheel is bolted directly to the crankshaft flange using high-strength bolts and the cylindrical pin ensures correct angular alignment.
