Luk LFW188 Clutch Flywheel

LuK LFW188 Flywheel for Ford Applications

The LuK LFW188 is a new clutch flywheel engineered to provide the smooth, flat friction surface needed for proper clutch operation. For Ford Ranger, Bronco II, and Aerostar applications, it offers a direct replacement option that supports OE-style clutch performance without resurfacing an existing flywheel.

Key Features

• New flywheel, never remanufactured
• Engineered and manufactured to OE specifications
• Flywheel diameter: 24.3 in. (9.567 in. listed in alternate units)
• Flywheel inner diameter: 14.614 in. (5.754 in. listed in alternate units)
• Number of teeth: 138
• Includes ring gear and dowel pins as part of OE-spec construction

Product Details

The LuK LFW188 flywheel is built as a direct-fit replacement for clutch service on 1985-1992 Ford Ranger, 1985-1990 Ford Bronco II, and 1986 Ford Aerostar applications. It is designed to restore the flat, consistent contact surface required for clutch engagement and release. This part cross-references Sachs NFW1109 for the same application. The LFW188 is a practical choice when replacing a clutch set on Ford Ranger and Bronco II models where flywheel condition affects drivability and clutch life.

What It Helps Address

• Uneven or worn flywheel friction surfaces
• Clutch chatter during engagement
• Slipping or inconsistent clutch operation caused by surface irregularities
• Noise or vibration related to flywheel wear
• Need for a replacement flywheel during clutch service on Ford Ranger, Bronco II, or Aerostar

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the clutch system, pilot components, and rear main seal before installation. Confirm tooth count, diameter, and fitment against the original part before assembly. Because the flywheel is a critical clutch mating surface, proper torque procedures and clean mating surfaces are important during installation.

Quality Assurance

LuK manufactures this flywheel to OE specifications as a new component, not a remanufactured unit. That approach supports consistent fit, surface quality, and dimensional accuracy for Ford clutch repair work.
