Luk LFW223 Clutch Flywheel

LuK LFW223 Flywheel for Ford Aspire and Festiva

The LuK LFW223 clutch flywheel is a new OE-spec replacement for select Ford compact cars. It provides the smooth, flat friction surface needed for proper clutch engagement and is a practical alternative to resurfacing an existing flywheel.

• New flywheel, never remanufactured
• Built to OE specifications for fit and function
• Includes ring gear and dowel pins as engineered by the manufacturer
• 18.2 in. flywheel diameter; 12.22 in. inner diameter
• 105-tooth ring gear for the listed applications
• 0.039 in. cup depth/step height

OE-Spec Replacement Details

LuK designs the LFW223 to match original equipment requirements for clutch service on 1988-1993 Ford Festiva and 1994-1997 Ford Aspire models. The flywheel’s flat, consistent surface helps support proper clutch contact and smooth operation, while the OE-style dimensions help maintain correct fitment during transmission service. This part cross-references Sachs NFW1125 for the same application.

What This Flywheel Helps Address

• Clutch chatter caused by an uneven flywheel surface
• Judder or grab during clutch engagement
• Heat checking or wear on the existing flywheel face
• Service delays when resurfacing is not the preferred option
• Fitment concerns during clutch replacement on Ford Aspire and Ford Festiva

Installation Notes

Verify flywheel diameter, tooth count, and step height before installation. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque sequence and specifications during clutch service. For best results, replace the flywheel when installing a new clutch set so the friction surface starts with a fresh, OE-spec finish.

Quality Assurance

LuK manufactures this flywheel to OE specifications, including the ring gear and dowel pins, and supplies it as a new component rather than a remanufactured unit. Fits 1988-1993 Ford Festiva and 1994-1997 Ford Aspire, matching the listed applications for clutch flywheel replacement.
