Shawn, Nice explanation.  I just have one comment.  It is actually potential energy that is stored in the flywheel.   Ron Malespin ----- Original Message ----- From: Shawn Price To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 9:43 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Stupid question? 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. -- Shawn Price Network Team Lead Technology Solutions Morrison Homes 404-427-8229 On Aug 4, 2005, at 11:34 AM, Pelle Andersson wrote: > What is the differense between a flywheel & a flexplate? > Is the flexplate part of the flywheel? > > Confusius ;) > > _________________________________________________________________ > FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now! > http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ > > >
