The transmission of your Mazda is what pushes the engine to exude its maximum power. It transmits this power to your wheels and keeps you in motion. While the performance of your car depends on usage and maintenance, there are a few modifications that can be done to speed it up. Here we list two important modifications to the transmission that will rev up your engine and give you a high-flying performance.
- Switching from a dual-mass flywheel (DMF) to a solid flywheel: A flywheel stores rotational energy from the engine and helps maintain the RPM of your wheels. DMFs make the engine move smoothly by reducing the wear and tear. A DMF will also protect the engine from shock and vibrations. Switching to a solid flywheel is recommended only if you’re using the Mazda for racing or for off-road activities. This is because solid flywheels do not wear out and do not break up when they fail. Thus, they need not be replaced or even repaired often. They also cost less.
- Lightening the flywheel: A lighter car usually exhibits better performance than a heavier one. That’s why many on-road vehicles are built to be light. With a lighter flywheel, the engine starts up quickly. The disadvantage is that momentum is lost as the surface begins to climb. This modification is apt for cars that are used in the city and on highways. A light flywheel is able to release more power and helps keep strain off the engine.
