Flywheel Question

[stlowry]

Is there any difference in the flywheel from a manual to an auto transmission?



Thanks

Autos don't have a flywheel, only a thin flex plate to bolt the TC to. So, yes there is a difference.

Thank you, this will be my first auto. I'm learning.

stlowry, be advised that all flex plates are not alike either. If you have to replace one for any reason, get a better than stock one if you are going to be increasing HP. They are prone to cracking around the bolt holes. I had one where the bolts must have started backing out, which rounded out the holes. The noise it made was bone chilling, as I didn't know what it was.
