the flywheel will only stop in certain positions based upon the number of cylinders in the engin due to the compression stroke
Technically, it never touches the flywheel - the clutch disc does. You can stop the flywheel (stall-out the engine) by engaging the clutch in gear with the brakes firmly applied.
It can cause a rough idle and random misfires because the engine will be off balance. If the flywheels happens to stop with the missing teeth (tooth) in the starting position, the the engine will not even crank.
Are we talking about excessive crankshaft endplay or a damaged flywheel? If its crankshaft endplay, replace the thrust bearings (and torque converter if automatic transmission). If it's the flywheel, replace the flywheel.

The flywheel smooths out the pulse of the power stroke and its inertia allows the crank shaft to continue rotating to bring the next piston into position to fire. Look at it like this: You could pedal your bicycle with one foot if the pedal had a flywheel on it.
The crankshaft position sensor is located on the front side of the engine block near the flywheel/driveplate
The (CKP) crankshaft position sensor is located on the front side of the engine block,near the flywheel/driveplate.
there are several things that keep the engine. some key ones are fuel, electrical (ignition), and compression. but the most important one of all is the flywheel. flywheel is chief.
I recall this from Drivers Ed. Technically a stop sign is not a stop position. You should use the crosswalk, sidewalk or edge of the road as your stop position - not the sign itself.
remove the engine and transmission from the car, then remove engine flywheel and it will be right there
You can use a three bolt steering wheel type puller if it is not too tight . You may need to purchase the puller made specifically for removing the flywheel that threads into the hub itself. I bought one on-line for $42 bucks. Absolutely DO NOT heat or hammer on the flywheel because you WILL screw up the stator , the trigger sleeve or the flywheel stator magnets that are epoxied to the flywheel. My flywheel was so tight, I had to put tension on the puller and let Liquid Wrench soak in overnight before it finally came loose. Note: Once your flywheel is off, DO NOT remove the magnetic sleeve pressed onto the inner hub. It is a critical timing piece that is epoxied onto the hub in a precise position that even the factory could not tell me how to position it correctly.
