Re: flywheel or flexplate
Physically a flexplate is just a stamped steel plate to connect the torque converter to the crankshaft and a ring gear for the starter to drive.
A flywheel is a lot thicker with a machined surface for the clutch to mate with.

Re: flywheel or flexplate
Flywheel is for manual tranny.
Flexplate is for automatic - torque convertor bolts to it. *Guess I type too slow Last edited by OleBlue69; 03-10-2007 at 09:23 PM. Reason: Sorry for the repeat |
