How to Remove and Install the Flywheel/Driveplate and Inspect for Leaks in 3.5L,3.9L V6 engine on Pontiac G6?

Before any disassembly it is necessary to lift the car and secure it to jackstands, to pull out the transaxle. After that, undo the bolts which joins the flywheel or the driveplate to the crankshaft, making sure that alignment is marked if there is no dowel pins. If the crankshaft turns, use a screwdriver to jam the flywheel/driveplate. Any orientation of a retaining ring when remove needs to be noted. With much care, remove the flywheel/driveplate then put on gloves to avoid coming into contact with sharp edges. Scrub the flywheel/driveplate for the removal of any grease and oil and look fro cracks and warpage on a flat surface. Also, the flywheel/drive plate mating surfaces and crankshaft mating surface must be cleanned and inspected; the crankshaft rear seal must be replaced if leaking. During installation, the flywheel/driveplate must be placed on the crankshaft in a way that the previously made alignment marks match; the bolts should be washed with thread locking compound and the retaining ring placed at the same time. In fact, it is recommended to make use of the screwdriver to lock up the flywheel/driveplate so as to prevent it from rotating even as the bolts are tightened to the stipulated torque. If front pump seal or O-ring is bad, replace them at this time. The following steps are as follows and are performed in the reverse order of the removal of structures.

Pontiac G6 Flywheel

The primary task of the Pontiac G6 Flywheel is to soak up engine pulses and provide smooth, consistent power while offering the ring gear surface that lets the starter crank the engine and the friction face that holds the clutch. Mounted to the Pontiac crankshaft, this heavy disc stores rotational energy so the engine feels steady between combustion bursts, and when you twist the key the starter drive meshes with the ring gear to spin the crank until ignition takes over. Two styles have appeared in the lineup, a traditional solid Flywheel and a Dual Mass version that sandwiches springs between two separate plates. The solid Flywheel is simple, can often be resurfaced for minor scoring, and mainly wears when heat and friction create grooves or warpage. The Dual Mass version adds a spring-damped hub that absorbs vibration and quiets the drivetrain, but its internal parts can loosen or rattle and most manufacturers forbid machining, meaning replacement is the usual fix. Excessive heat cracks, runout, or chipped ring gear teeth on any Flywheel call for a fresh unit to restore smooth launches and reliable starts in every Pontiac G6 model, keeping drivers confident that each G6 shift stays chatter free while the Flywheel silently evens out every revolution.

Each OEM Pontiac G6 Flywheel we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
