Pioneer FWS-24 Flywheel Shim for Ford Applications

The Pioneer Cables FWS-24 flywheel shim is used when reinstalling a machined flywheel and the spacing needs to be corrected for proper engagement. Built from stamped steel and made to exact measurements, it supports a precise repair on Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln manual and drivetrain service applications.

Key Features

• 0.050 in. thickness for controlled flywheel spacing
• Stamped steel construction for consistent fit and durability
• Helps restore proper engagement after flywheel machining
• Direct replacement style part for service work on select Ford 8-bolt crank applications
• Part number FWS-24 for easy identification

Detailed Description

The Pioneer FWS-24 flywheel shim is engineered to restore the correct spacing after a flywheel has been machined. That spacing is critical for proper engagement during reassembly, especially on vehicles that use an 8-bolt crank configuration. The 0.050-inch thickness gives technicians a defined measurement for setup, while the stamped steel construction supports accurate installation and repeatable service results. This part cross-references FWS24 for the same application.

Compatible With select Ford Mustang, Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln LS, Ford Taurus, Ford Aerostar, Ford Tempo, Mercury Topaz, Ford Probe, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and Mercury Mountaineer applications that call for a 0.050-inch shim and 8-bolt crank setup. The FWS-24 is a practical choice when servicing drivetrain components on these vehicles and when exact flywheel spacing is required.

What It Helps Address

• Incorrect flywheel spacing after machining
• Poor engagement during flywheel reinstallation
• Fitment issues on 8-bolt crank applications
• Need for a measured 0.050-inch shim during repair
• Repeat service problems caused by inconsistent spacing
