The Cadillac Fleetwood Flywheel provides smooth and reliable power by storing rotational energy between combustion pulses. Bolted to the crankshaft, the Flywheel also carries a ring gear that is mated to the starter motor to turn the engine over to start. The face of the Flywheel is the friction surface of the clutch. Early Fleetwood models employed a traditional solid Flywheel, a single heavy disc, the sheer mass of which evens out the engine speed and can be resurfaced lightly when clutch wear causes scoring or runout. Later Cadillac sedans applied the dual mass Flywheel, built from two separate discs connected by spring dampers that absorb vibration before it is transmitted to the driveline, providing drivers with quieter operation and easier shifts. Unlike the solid style, a dual mass unit cannot usually be machined, and internal damper fatigue or excess play means replacement is the only cure. No matter what the type, excessive heat, warped faces, or chipped ring gear teeth indicate that a new Flywheel will be required to keep Cadillac and Fleetwood drivetrains engaging smoothly during every shift.
