I have a friend who used to road race little street legal 4 cylinder MGs.
They would put a light flywheel on their cars to make them accelerate out of
corners faster. The problem that he had was that it made the car hard to
drive on the street. Shifting smoothly under street conditions became

Hey Rick, I'll take a scan of that page. The cylinder in my 70 won't go

Do you have a Factory Service Manual? Instruction is in there, not
hard to do but hard to explain without pictures (or being there).
You will need to remove steering wheel and directional switch. Then

How do I remove the column ignition switch from a 70 Chevelle?

I've known him for a few years and keep in touch. If I can get away,I plan

Clint, how do you know Roger The Magnaflow is a work of art. It cost
more than he told me $800 ended up $1300, but the results are wonderful!! He
had to cut so many times to make it fit. The engine has come alive with the
new headers and exhaust!! The mechanic I use is David Voulgaris in Wharto
Interesting stuff - If I'm understanding this correctly, in my manual
transmission BBC application, if I had a lighter flywheel, the engine would
rev up faster, but it would bog down sooner as well. When you buy a
flywheel, as I will have to, what should I look for, if my application is a

One point I haven't seen brought up yet is the weight issue. Although a
flywheel weighs more than a flexplate a flexplate / torque converter
assembly weighs about the same as a flywheel / clutch assembly.

Flywheel is much thicker and the clutch is bolted on it. Used to manual
transmissions.
Automatic transmissions are using a turbine instead connected to the
flexplate. The starter uses the gear on the flexplate. The Swedish word
for flexplate is "startkrans" which pretty much explains the func
Shawn and RJ,
It's good to drive an engineering discussion! RJ you are exactly
correct. Everything has potential energy due to the simple fact of
gravity. Kinetic energy is developed from the rotating mass.

Technically,
It has kinetic and potential
energy. Kinetic is basically movement, and since the flywheel is spinning it
has kinetic energy. But the basic way to measure potential energy is height
off the ground where gravity can act on it. Since the flywheel is above ground

Actually Ron,
It is kinetic energy. An example of stored energy would be the spring in a wind up clock. As the clock releases the stored energy from the spring by turning its hands, that would be an example of kinetic energy.

Shawn,
Nice explanation. I just have one comment. It is actually
potential energy that is stored in the flywheel.

It was getting to the point where there would be

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

What is the differense between a flywheel & a flexplate?
Is the flexplate part of the flywheel?
