flywheel..

Post by Gary406 »

tell me if this is a stupid idea because somthing makes me think it is but im gonna ask anyway

will it be ok pouring water onto the flywheel why its spinning... the idea is to try and clean it all (try)

just since changing the thermostat and coolant fell in there and it seems to have stopped the judder :?

its really baffling me now .

I wouldn't, you're likely to make everything go rusty including the release bearing. Even after that antifreeze I'd take it for a nice long drive to warm it all thoroughly or you might end up with the clutch plate rusted onto the flywheel :shock:
