Product Description
Transmission Torque Converter Driveplate/Flexplate Flexplates, similar in shape to flywheels, are designed for vehicles with automatic transmissions. Made from lighter materials such as stamped steel or aluminum, flexplates connect the engine to the transmission, allowing smooth gear changes by transmitting torque from the engine to the transmission. While both components serve similar purposes, their designs differ to meet specific vehicle requirements. Flywheels are larger and heavier to store energy, whereas flexplates are lighter to reduce rotational mass and include a ring gear for engaging the starter motor during engine start-up. Understanding the roles of flywheels and flexplates is essential for maintaining a vehicle's performance and reliability, ensuring smooth operation and efficient power delivery.Cross References
