Spec 95-99 Ford Contour 2.0L / 00-04 Ford Focus 2.0L Aluminum Flywheel

This SPEC aluminum flywheel is made for the 1995 through 1999 Ford Contour with the 2.0L engine, and also fits the 2000 through 2004 Ford Focus with the 2.0L engine. A flywheel's job is to store rotational energy from the engine, smoothing out the power delivery to the transmission and providing a surface for the clutch to engage with. By using aluminum, this SPEC flywheel is significantly lighter than a stock cast iron unit, which directly impacts how quickly your engine can change RPMs.

Because it's made from aluminum, this flywheel weighs in at a mere 11 pounds, compared to a stock flywheel which can be upwards of 20 pounds or more. This weight reduction means your engine will feel more responsive, especially when you're accelerating from a stop or shifting gears. It's a popular choice for drivers looking to improve their car's acceleration characteristics. The aluminum construction also helps dissipate heat more effectively than cast iron, which can be beneficial during spirited driving or track use.

This flywheel is designed as a direct replacement for your original part, meaning it fits right in place of the factory flywheel. It's important to note that when installing a lighter flywheel, you might notice a slight change in how the engine idles, and it may require a bit more throttle to get moving from a standstill. This is normal and a direct result of the reduced rotational mass. You will need to resurface or replace your clutch disc and pressure plate when installing a new flywheel, as these components wear together.
