Understanding the Alternator Freewheel Clutch in Your Mazda 6
The alternator is a pivotal component in the electrical lighting system of your Mazda 6, and the alternator freewheel clutch plays a critical role in its efficient operation.

It is essential for maintaining the electrical system's reliability and preventing premature alternator failure.

What is an Alternator Freewheel Clutch?
Many modern vehicles have complex alternator systems, so they use an overrunning alternator pulley instead of a traditional solid pulley. They work by allowing the alternator to "freewheel" or overrun whenever the engine decelerates, dampening the alternator's vibrations.
However, like any car part, the freewheel clutch can be susceptible to wear and tear over time. If there’s a problem with the alternator freewheel clutch pulley, you might notice squealing, screeching sounds or unusual vibrations coming from the engine area when the car is running. You can also find the recommended service intervals for this part in your car owner’s manual.
You can also learn how to change your alternator with our detailed guide.
