The Saturn LS Flywheel helps keep the engine running smoothly by storing rotational energy between combustion pulses. This provides drivers with smoother power and reliable starts. Bolted to the crankshaft, the Flywheel, by its inertia, evens out the jerky bursts of combustion. The toothed ring gear allows the starter to spin the engine when starting, and the smooth face provides a friction surface for the clutch disc and a mount for the pressure plate. Each Flywheel rotates whenever the engine is running. Over the years, Saturn offered two main styles on the midsize LS cars, a traditional solid Flywheel and a dual mass version. The solid unit is a single heavy disc that is easy to resurface if clutch heat leaves grooves or warpage, but only within tight limits. The dual mass design has two separate discs connected by springs to absorb vibration, which enhances the feel of shifting but cannot be machined and may fail internally. Replacement is the only solution. Excessive wear, heat cracks, or chipped teeth of the ring gear are the typical reasons why LS owners change their Flywheel. Selecting the correct type will keep the Saturn drivetrain quiet and smooth.
