Application Details

Compatible with a wide range of Dodge manual transmission vehicles, including Dodge D150, Dodge D250, Dodge W150, and Dodge Ramcharger applications that use an 11-inch disc. This flywheel also fits select Dodge B-series vans and other Dodge truck platforms from 1978-1991, depending on engine and clutch configuration.

What It Helps Address

• Flywheel wear that can affect clutch engagement

• Fitment issues when restoring OE-style drivetrain operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s clutch diameter and manual transmission configuration before installation. The FW-161 is specified for applications using an 11-inch disc, so confirm the existing clutch setup and ring gear tooth count match the vehicle requirements. Inspect the clutch disc, pressure plate, pilot bearing, and release components during service to help ensure proper operation after installation. Part number FW-161 should be matched to the vehicle’s year, make, model, and clutch specification before assembly.
