Pelle,
The best way I know to explain it is a flexplate is used with an
automatic transmission and is usually lighter and thinner. Its basic
role is to give a place to use the starter on. Whereas the flywheel on
a manual transmission car is much heavier and actually stores kinetic
energy to help move the car during take-off.
I'm sure we'll get lots more (better) explanations than this though.
