Detailed Product Overview

When replacing the clutch on a 1999-2000 Mazda Protege, the flywheel is a critical wear surface that directly affects clutch operation. The LuK LFW272 is built as a new clutch flywheel with the correct dimensions for this application, including the 20.5-inch diameter, 12.775-inch inner diameter, and 112 teeth. LuK manufactures this part to OE specifications, including the ring gear and dowel pins, so it matches the requirements of the original drivetrain setup. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., FP4911500) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Uneven or glazed clutch contact surface
• Chatter or shudder during clutch engagement
• Clutch replacement jobs that require a fresh flywheel surface
• Wear at the ring gear teeth

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the clutch, pressure plate, and release components before installation. Confirm flywheel diameter, inner diameter, tooth count, and step height against the original part before assembly. For 1999-2000 Mazda Protege service, replace the flywheel whenever the existing surface is heat-checked, scored, or outside specification.

Quality Assurance

LuK supplies OE-spec drivetrain components, and the LFW272 is produced as a new part rather than a remanufactured unit. Its dimensions and critical features are engineered to match original equipment requirements for proper clutch service.
