Luk DMF074 Clutch Flywheel

LuK DMF074 Dual Mass Flywheel

The LuK DMF074 is a clutch flywheel engineered as a dual mass flywheel for smoother drivetrain operation and OE-style fitment. It is built for 2008-2009 Dodge Caliber applications and is tuned to the vehicle platform rather than using a one-size-fits-all design.

Key Features

• Dual mass flywheel design for drivetrain damping
• Flywheel diameter: 23.6 in. (9.291 in. listed in alternate units)
• Flywheel inner diameter: 15.5 in. (6.102 in. listed in alternate units)
• Flywheel cup depth/step height: -0.346 in. (-8.8 mm)
• 110-tooth ring gear
• Direct-fit application for 2008-2009 Dodge Caliber
• Part number: DMF074

Detailed Description

LuK designs the DMF074 as an original-style dual mass flywheel for the 2008-2009 Dodge Caliber, with dimensions and damping characteristics matched to the application. The 23.6-inch flywheel diameter, 15.5-inch inner diameter, -0.346-inch cup depth, and 110 teeth provide the dimensional profile needed for proper clutch engagement and starter ring gear alignment. LuK DMF074 is intended for drivers and repair shops replacing a worn flywheel on a Dodge Caliber while maintaining OE-type drivability and drivetrain balance. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 167074 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive drivetrain vibration during acceleration or shifting
• Noise from a worn or damaged flywheel assembly
• Irregular clutch engagement caused by flywheel wear
• Stress on engine mounts and transmission components from a failing flywheel
• Starter engagement issues related to ring gear wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the flywheel diameter, inner diameter, cup depth, and tooth count against the original part before installation. Inspect the clutch system, starter engagement surface, and related drivetrain components during service. For 2008-2009 Dodge Caliber repairs, confirm that the replacement flywheel matches the vehicle’s OE configuration and torque specifications in the service manual.

Quality Assurance

LuK positions this DMF as an OE-style dual mass flywheel built for application-specific tuning. The brand notes that using the correct dual mass design helps avoid the added wear and component damage that can occur when a solid flywheel is used in place of the original setup.
