The flywheel or clutch drive plate is designed to rotate the crankshaft evenly and transfer torque to the gearbox. Thanks to this device, the engine starts from the starter.

A flywheel is a large steel disc with several holes in the center for attaching to the crankshaft and one for a bearing or bushing. This bearing is connected to the input shaft of the mechanical box. For alignment with the starter bendix, a crown is used, which is a toothed ring located around the perimeter of the flywheel. This part is located at the end of the crankshaft, on the other side it is bolted to the clutch basket.
