I bought a new 901-102-026-01 OEM flywheel which was recommended for a 6 conversion using the stock 901 gearbox. After 7000 miles the ring gear is toast but the starter gear looks ok. I suspect the problem is with the starter/starter gear. While searching for a new flywheel I found vendors don't necessarily agree on the part number. One vendor carries only the -01 wheel specifically for this application. The other vendor carries a -01 and a -02, both OEM, and insists the -02 is the only one that fits. Anyone know if there is a difference in the two wheels or is it just a vendor numbering issue? Also any thoughts on the ring gear problem?
If anyone has a new or like new flywheel for this app you are looking to sell, I'm in the market. Thanks Ron |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) the starter stock is more than enough,Bosch make great starters when I reconditioned them years ago most only needs a clean and lube,the worst I found needed commutator machined and new brushes and these were old starters back then,save the reduction high torque starters for high comp petrol motors and diesels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .
Sounds like the OP may have had a flywheel with no induction hardened teeth...easy to check with a hand file the tips should be bloody hard. |
