Description

Flywheel Adjustment Tool for VW 02A, 02J and 6-Speed Transmissions

Brief Overview

This specialized flywheel adjustment tool is engineered to safely hold the flywheel stationary during clutch and flywheel bolt removal and installation operations. Built from hardened steel with precision machining, it delivers the reliability your shop needs for transmission service work on VW platforms. When paired with complementary shop tools like a transmission locking solution, you can establish a complete transmission service capability that builds customer confidence and shop reputation.

Key Features

  • Dual-Component Design: Threaded shaft assembly with hex head, washer, and collar combined with a separate cylindrical pivot piece featuring integral flanged engagement arm
  • Hardened Steel Construction: Grade 8.8 rated fasteners and black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and durability
  • Engine Block Mounting: Non-threaded adapter seats into the rearmost hold on engine block for secure positioning
  • Adjustable Positioning: Rotate tool upwards to achieve correct angle for bolt access and safe operation
  • Precision Machining: Clean, tight tolerances ensure repeatable positioning across multiple service cycles
