Luk LFW156 Clutch Flywheel

LuK LFW156 Flywheel for Ranger, Explorer and B4000

The LuK LFW156 clutch flywheel is a direct-fit replacement for select Ford and Mazda manual transmission applications. It provides the smooth, flat friction surface needed for consistent clutch engagement and is a practical alternative to resurfacing during clutch service.

Built to OE specifications, this new flywheel is engineered with the ring gear and dowel pins in place for accurate fitment on supported vehicles, including Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, and Mazda B4000 applications.

Detailed Description

The LuK LFW156 is a clutch flywheel for manual transmission service where a clean, true friction surface is required. Its 10.905-inch diameter and 138-tooth ring gear support proper clutch operation on applications such as 1990-1996 Ford Ranger, 1991-1996 Ford Explorer, 1991-1994 Mazda Navajo, and 1994-1997 Mazda B4000. For 1997 Ford Ranger, fitment notes specify a 6-hole crankshaft bolt pattern. This part cross-references Sachs NFW1118 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clutch chatter caused by an uneven flywheel surface
• Poor clutch engagement from heat spots or scoring
• Noise or vibration related to worn flywheel friction surfaces
• Repeat clutch service when resurfacing is not the preferred option
• Fitment issues during clutch replacement on supported Ford Ranger and Mazda B4000 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the clutch assembly, pilot bearing, and related wear components before installation. Confirm the 138-tooth count, 10.905-inch diameter, and the 1997 Ford Ranger 6-hole crankshaft bolt pattern note before assembly. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque sequence and specifications during installation.

Quality Assurance

LuK manufactures this flywheel as a new OE-spec component, with no remanufactured core. The design follows original equipment requirements for the ring gear, dowel pins, and critical dimensions to support proper clutch service on the listed Ford and Mazda applications.
