Luk LFW228 Clutch Flywheel

OE-Style Flywheel for Mazda and Ford Applications

The LuK LFW228 clutch flywheel is a new, OE-spec replacement for select Mazda and Ford manual transmission applications. It provides the smooth, flat friction surface needed for consistent clutch engagement and is a practical alternative to resurfacing an existing flywheel.

Built as an all-new component, this flywheel is engineered to match original equipment dimensions, including the ring gear and dowel pins. It is a direct-fit choice for drivers servicing Mazda B2200, Mazda 626, Mazda MX-6, Mazda B2000, and Ford Probe models within the listed years.

Detailed Description

LuK LFW228 is a clutch flywheel designed for manual transmission service where the flywheel must provide a flat, stable contact surface for the clutch assembly. Its OE-based dimensions help maintain proper clutch operation on vehicles such as the 1983-1992 Mazda 626, 1988-1992 Mazda MX-6, 1988-1993 Mazda B2200, 1986-1987 Mazda B2000, and 1989-1992 Ford Probe. This part cross-references Sachs NFW4702 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Uneven clutch engagement caused by a worn flywheel surface
• Chatter or shudder during takeoff
• Heat spotting or scoring on the friction face
• Clutch replacement jobs that require a fresh flywheel surface
• Fitment issues when the original flywheel is outside service limits

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify flywheel diameter, tooth count, and step height before installation. Inspect the clutch disc, pressure plate, pilot bearing, and release components at the same time to avoid repeat labor. Confirm vehicle year breakpoints carefully, especially for 1987 Mazda B2200 models with the 04/01/1987 note.

Quality Assurance

LuK manufactures this flywheel to OE specifications as a new component, not a remanufactured unit. The design follows original equipment requirements for the ring gear, dowel pins, and critical dimensions to support proper clutch service on the listed Mazda and Ford applications.
