Lightweight flywheel Ford / Volvo 1.8 2.0 Duratec – Focus Mondeo C-MAX S-MAX C30 S40 V50 – Ø240 mm – 5.04 kg / 11.11 lb

PMC Clutch lightweight flywheel Ford Focus II III, Mondeo III IV, C-MAX, S-MAX, Galaxy / Volvo C30 S40 V50 V70 S80 – 1.8 2.0 Duratec – 240 mm / 9.45" – 5.04 kg / 11.11 lbs (−56% vs OE)

Lightweight single-mass flywheel (SMF) PMC Clutch for petrol Ford 1.8 and 2.0 Duratec and Volvo 1.8 / 2.0 (B4184, B4204) engines, installed in models such as Ford Focus II / III, Mondeo III / IV, C-MAX, S-MAX, Galaxy, and Volvo C30, S40 II, V50, V70 III, S80 II. The flywheel is a direct replacement for the factory Ford OE 1255217 / 1472905 / 1511930 / 8G91-6477-BA and Volvo OE 31259323 flywheels – installed plug & play without any adapter or modifications, as all mounting points are retained exactly like the factory unit. The flywheel body is CNC-machined from aluminum, featuring a replaceable steel friction plate and a zinc-plated starter ring gear. The flywheel works with the factory 240 mm clutch as well as any OE-fit aftermarket or custom clutch – for example Sachs 3000 990 487, Sachs Performance 3000 951 587, or LuK 624 3295 09. Flywheel bolts are not included – required bolts are Ford OE 1119933 (M12x1x31) or Sachs 1874 000 039.

The factory flywheel weighs 11.57 kg / 25.51 lbs, whereas the PMC Clutch flywheel weighs 5.04 kg / 11.11 lbs, representing a 56% weight reduction – over 6.5 kg less rotational mass directly off the crankshaft. Lower inertia allows the engine to rev up faster and drop revs quicker off throttle, making rev-matching on downshifts significantly easier and sharper. While engine horsepower remains unchanged, drivetrain losses are reduced, delivering more usable power to the wheels. A lightweight flywheel performs exceptionally well on technical, twisty circuits where the car regains exit speed much faster – an ideal upgrade for daily-driven Ford and Volvo Duratec vehicles as well as track day, rallycross, and time attack setups.

PMC Clutch flywheels are engineered using 3D scanning of original factory components, with the dimensional accuracy of every batch inspected via a measuring arm. Manufacturing takes place on modern CNC machining centers, guaranteeing repeatability and perfect concentricity with the crankshaft. Every flywheel is balanced prior to dispatch and engraved with an individual production serial number.

Additional Information

Installation Instructions

The PMC Clutch flywheel mounts directly in place of the factory Ford / Volvo flywheel, without any adapter or modifications – the mounting points are identical to the OE unit. Flywheel bolts are not included with the product; installation requires new Ford OE 1119933 (M12x1x31) or Sachs 1874 000 039 bolts tightened to a torque of 112 Nm / 82.6 lb⋅ft using threadlocker. Pressure plate mounting bolts and washers are included in the kit. Select a 240 mm / 9.45" clutch kit designed for Ford / Volvo 1.8 / 2.0 Duratec engines – either the factory OE clutch kit or any aftermarket/custom clutch compliant with OE mounting points (see compatibility table for part references). We recommend checking the condition of the release system prior to assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cars and engines is this flywheel compatible with?

The flywheel is designed for petrol Ford 1.8 and 2.0 Duratec engines (including 2.0 Ti-GDi) as well as Volvo B4184 / B4204 with manual transmissions – in Ford Focus II / III, Mondeo III / IV, C-MAX, S-MAX, and Galaxy, as well as Volvo C30, S40 II, V50, V70 III, and S80 II.

Is this a direct replacement for the OE flywheel?

Yes. The PMC Clutch flywheel replaces factory Ford OE 1255217, 1472905, 1511930, 1521330, 2382522, 2522145, 5149554, 3S71-6477-MA, 8G91-6477-BA / BB / BC, BM51-6477-AA / AB / AC, and Volvo OE 31259323. Installation is plug & play – all mounting points are retained exactly like the stock flywheel, requiring no adapter or modifications.

What does the flywheel weigh and how much lighter is it than the factory unit?

The PMC Clutch flywheel weighs 5.04 kg / 11.11 lbs, whereas the factory flywheel weighs 11.57 kg / 25.51 lbs. This represents a 56% weight reduction, removing over 6.5 kg of rotational mass directly from the crankshaft.

Which clutch fits the PMC flywheel?

The flywheel works with the factory 240 mm / 9.45" Ford / Volvo clutch (OE kits listed in the compatibility table). Any aftermarket or custom clutch matching OE mounting points can also be used – example kits include Sachs 3000 990 487, Sachs Performance 3000 951 587, and LuK 624 3295 09.

Is this flywheel suitable for daily driving?

Yes. A lightweight single-mass flywheel paired with an OE-spec clutch can easily be driven daily, delivering significantly crisper throttle response. Note that a single-mass flywheel may increase transmission noise transfer, as detailed in the note below.

Are flywheel bolts included and what is the torque specification?

Flywheel bolts are not included – required bolts are Ford OE 1119933 (M12x1x31) or Sachs 1874 000 039, which must be torqued to 112 Nm / 82.6 lb⋅ft with threadlocker applied. We recommend fitting brand-new bolts every time the flywheel is installed. Pressure plate mounting bolts and washers are included.

Does a lightweight flywheel increase transmission gear chatter?

A single-mass flywheel eliminates factory dual-mass damping elements, meaning gearbox mechanical operation may become more audible, especially at idle. This is a natural characteristic of a direct, rigid engine-to-transmission coupling, common and desirable in motorsport, and does not indicate a defect.

What is included in the package?

The package contains the aluminum flywheel with a replaceable steel friction plate and zinc-plated starter ring gear, pressure plate mounting bolts, and washers. Flywheel-to-crank bolts, clutch pressure plate, and clutch disc are not included with this product.

Does the price include customs duties for shipping outside the European Union?

No. The product price and shipping quote do not include customs duties or additional import taxes that may apply in the recipient's country.

Can I purchase with 0% VAT?

Yes, if you are a B2B customer outside Poland with an active EU VAT number (validated in the VIES system), or if your order is being exported outside the EU.

Please note that a lightweight single-mass flywheel provides uncompromising throttle response at the expense of factory damping elements. This results in a more direct drivetrain engagement, which naturally may increase audible gearbox chatter/gear rollover noise. This is an intended and normal characteristic in motorsport vehicles resulting from the rigid mechanical connection between the engine and drivetrain.
