Describing this and doing this are definitely two different things. What is the vehicle doing to make you think it's the flywheel? It takes a crazy amount of abuse to damage a flywheel.
To change the flywheel you will need to unbolt the transmission from the engine and move it out of the way. Unbolt the clutch assembly from the flywheel face and then unbolt the flywheel from the end of the crank shaft.
This is NOT a job you can really do on your driveway as the transmission AND the flywheel are ridiculously heavy. The mount holes on the flywheel are also Not evenly spaced so it needs to be positioned exactly or the mount holes won't line up.
There should have been a dowel pin in crank flange so the flywheel would go back in the same spot. Is it a new flywheel? Was it balanced? There are no timing marks on the flywheel. Does the gear on the starter line up with the flywheel teeth? Does the engine turn over? Would like to help.
What type of car is this..but to answer your question the flywheel would have to be out of round to make contact with the crank sensor i suspect you have a cracked or broken flywheel most of the time they will break at the center of the flywheel where the crankshaft attaches to the flywheel and would still drive for some time
TRANSMISSION FLYWHEEL HAS TO ALIGN CORRECTLY.MAKE SURE FLYWHEEL IS IN THE ALIGNMENT DOWEL BOLTS TIGHTEN IN SEQUENCE IF NOT FLYWHEEL THATS NOT ALIGN CORRECTLY WHEN YOU TIGHTEN IT UP IN A BIND FLYWHEEL WILL CRACK.MAKE SURE FLYWHEEL TORQUE IS 59 FT LBS FOR THE 4.0 ENGINE.THE 5.0 ENGINE FLYWHEEL BOLTS TORQUE IS 75 - 85 FT LBS.IF OVER TIGHTEN FLYWHEEL IT WILL CRACK IT.
Replace the starter before it ruins the flywheel. You have a worn out drive that applies to the flywheel. Flywheels are very very hard to change, in fact you can change 10 or 15 starters in the same time changing one flywheel
If you turned the flywheel with a screwdriver and the bendix engaged the flywheel, then it sounds like it could be the flywheel. There may be "teeth" missing on the flywheel, causing the bendix not to grab onto the flywheel. Have the flywheel checked. If there are "teeth" missing, then replace the flywheel. I experienced the same problem with my Nissan.
sometimes just by banging it with a hammer itwhile startuing it may unlock, but usually a locked starter means that you need to shim the starter so that it turns evenly to the flywheel
for the starter and flywheel 1400 sounds right they would have to take the tranny out to get to the fly wheel but why do they need to replace the fly wheel did your old starter do a lot of grinding its not to often you have to replace a flywheel unless the starter wrecked it somehow again not to often starters are ment to break before it wrecks the flywheel the flywheel made of harder metel i would get a second opinion on replacing the flywheel
are you sure you have an amc 360 and not a 304 and also are you sure the flywheel came from an amc 360 and not a chevy 350? A 350 will bolt directly in place of the 360. You might also try a 350 flywheel.
