Automatic transmissions do not have flywheels. They have light weight flexplates. The fluid in the torque converter is heavy enough to dampen engine vibrations.

Flexplates are really only there for the pinion gear on the starter, axial movement, and a mounting plate for the torque converter. Flexplates fell like they only weigh a pound, there really light. No need to upgrade.
