Luk LFW258 Clutch Flywheel

LuK LFW258 Clutch Flywheel Overview

The LuK LFW258 clutch flywheel is a direct-fit replacement for select Ford, Mercury, and Mazda manual transmission applications. Built to OE specifications, it provides the smooth, flat clutch contact surface needed for consistent engagement and drivability.

For Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Mazda 6 service work, replacing the flywheel during clutch repair is a practical way to restore proper clutch operation without resurfacing an old unit.

Key Features

• OE-specification clutch flywheel for manual transmission service
• 23 in. flywheel diameter for the listed applications
• 113-tooth ring gear for starter engagement
• Flywheel cup depth/step height: -0.295 in. (-7.5 mm)
• Flywheel inner diameter: 14.8 in. (5.827 in.)
• New component, not remanufactured
• Engineered with ring gear and dowel pins to OE requirements

Detailed Description

The LuK LFW258 is a clutch flywheel designed for vehicles that require a precise mating surface between the clutch assembly and the engine. Its OE-based construction helps maintain the flatness, balance, and dimensional accuracy needed for reliable clutch engagement. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 167788 for the same application.

Compatible With 2006-2009 Ford Fusion, 2006-2009 Mercury Milan, and 2003-2008 Mazda 6 manual transmission applications, the LuK LFW258 supports clutch replacement on popular midsize sedan platforms. The part number LFW258 is also a useful reference when comparing replacement flywheels for these vehicles.

What This Flywheel Helps Address

• Clutch chatter or uneven engagement caused by a worn flywheel surface
• Heat spots, scoring, or glazing on the existing flywheel
• Vibration or drivability issues related to an out-of-spec clutch contact surface
• Starter ring gear wear affecting cranking engagement
• Repeat clutch service caused by reusing a damaged flywheel

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the clutch, pressure plate, release components, and rear main seal during service. For Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Mazda 6 repairs, verify transmission type and flywheel dimensions before installation. The flywheel must be installed on a clean, flat mating surface and torqued to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.

Because the LuK LFW258 is a new flywheel, it is a direct alternative to resurfacing when the original unit is worn beyond service limits. Confirm tooth count, diameter, and step height against the removed part before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

LuK manufactures this flywheel to OE specifications using new components only, including the ring gear and dowel pins. The LFW258 is built for dimensional accuracy and consistent clutch performance in the listed Ford, Mercury, and Mazda applications.
