GAO-14 – Rubber Flex Disc – Opel Application – Bolt Circle Dia 96MM – Bolt Hole Dia 12MM

GAO-14 is a critical component for Opel vehicles, specifically designed to absorb torsional vibrations between the transmission output and driveshaft input. This Rubber Flex Disc plays a vital role in enhancing the driveline’s performance by compensating for minor angular misalignments without the need for a universal joint. With a bolt circle diameter of 96MM and six bolt holes measuring 12MM, it ensures a secure and reliable fit, meeting the high standards expected from OE manufacturers.

In Opel’s driveline design, the flex disc is essential for reducing NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) in the cabin, providing a smoother ride for passengers. When this component fails, you may notice symptoms such as clunking on takeoff, vibrations at low speeds, or visible cracking and deformation. Regular inspection is crucial to maintain optimal performance.

• Application: Opel vehicles
• Bolt Circle Diameter: 96MM
• Bolt Hole Count: 6
• Bolt Hole Diameter: 12MM
• Installation Tip: Ensure correct bolt orientation and torque bolts in a star pattern.

When replacing the GAO-14, always check for cracks at the reinforcement sleeves to prevent future failures. This part is a direct replacement for the original equipment, ensuring compatibility and reliability in your Opel’s driveline.
