You may find that it's easier to liltghy rev the engine just "blip" the throttle, then let out on the clutch as the engine RPM is falling back to idle .this is MUCH easier on your clutch disc, promoting a smoother engagement.It may be too, that the first car you drove had a small engine and would stall if you didn't feed it some throttle, whereas your father's car may have had a more favorable power to weight ratio and been able to leave a stop from an idle.
Assuming this is a standard transmission flywheel, if the clutch has been allowed to slip excessively and overheat the flywheel, it may have cracked and warped the flywheel clutch surface allowing the clutch to chatter during take off.
cracked or warped flywheel Spring on the pressure plate could have come loose.
If you are really talking about an automatic transmission flex-plate, then a clicking noise at a lower rpm that seems to go away as yoiu wrap up the motor would indicate a crack. A maual transmission's flywheel that is cracked will generally cause the cluth to slip, and eat the clutch disc rapidly. There will be a strong smell!
sounds like it might be a bad starter causing the damage. the only way to know for sure is to have someone who you know is good with vehicles look at it
The flywheel can be cracked or the teeth on the flywheel can be broken or worn. Either of these conditions require the flywheel be replaced. I would also replace the starter when replacing the flywheel. This will prevent damage to the new flywheel from the worn teeth on the old starter.
No, a rusted flywheel will not cause the engine not to turn over.
The likely causes would be 1) plugged EGR valve: The valve gets plugged with carbon deposits over time and needs to be cleaned out. 2) a cracked air intake hose: The cracked hose causes air leakage which throws off the Mass Airflow Sensor, which when sending erroneous information to the computer can cause serious hesitation and stalling at idle.
most likely it is a cylinder missfire it might be a broken flywheel (cracked)
possibly a warped or cracked flywheel...i had a vehicle that was doing this once and i let it go until i went to accelerate to pass someone and that was all she wrote....flywheel broke into pieces...i would get this to a shop and looked at ASAP cause if the flywheel breaks you gonna be stuck
A cracked flex plate (flywheel) could be your problem.
A bad fuel pump can cause stalling. The oil pressure will show low oil on the lights or gauges but if the pressure is ok then the switch should not cause stalling.
A 2004 Dodge Ram will begin stalling out when it is not receiving enough fuel or air. A weak spark or defective spark plugs will also cause stalling.
