Luk DMF061 Clutch Flywheel

LuK DMF061 Dual Mass Flywheel Overview

The LuK DMF061 is a dual mass flywheel engineered for specific OE-style fitment on select Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet SSR applications. With a 29 mm flywheel diameter, 168 teeth, and a -11.7 mm cup depth/step height, it is built to match the drivetrain geometry required for proper clutch engagement and smooth power transfer.

LuK develops each dual mass flywheel to the vehicle application rather than using a one-size-fits-all design. That approach helps reduce the drivetrain stress that can occur when a solid flywheel is used in place of the original dual mass unit.

Key Features

• Part number: DMF061
• Dual mass flywheel for transmission and clutch service

• Flywheel cup depth/step height: -11.7 mm / -0.461 in
• 168-tooth ring gear
• OE-focused design for smoother drivetrain operation
• Fits 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS and 2005-2006 Chevrolet SSR

Detailed Description

LuK DMF061 is a replacement clutch flywheel for vehicles that require a dual mass flywheel rather than a solid flywheel. The dual mass construction helps isolate torsional vibration, which supports smoother clutch operation and reduces stress on related drivetrain components. This is especially important in applications such as the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet SSR, where correct flywheel specification affects engagement quality and long-term driveline performance. If you are sourcing a LuK DMF061 for a 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS or a 2005-2006 Chevrolet SSR, verify the tooth count, diameter, and step height against the original part before installation.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 167061 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clutch chatter or vibration during engagement
• Excess drivetrain noise from a worn flywheel assembly
• Harsh shifting caused by flywheel wear or imbalance
• Stress on engine mounts and transmission components from improper flywheel replacement
• Fitment issues when replacing an original dual mass flywheel with the correct OE-style unit

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the original flywheel diameter, 168-tooth count, and step height before installation. Inspect the clutch, release components, and related hardware for wear while the transmission is removed. Because this is a precision drivetrain component, proper torque procedures and clean mating surfaces are important for correct operation.

Quality Assurance

LuK is known for OE-focused drivetrain components, and the DMF061 follows that application-specific approach for consistent fit and function in the listed Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet SSR vehicles.
