This may be a dumb question but i really need to know...is a flywheel and flexplate the same thing? The flywheel is for a manual and a flexplate is for a automatic right? Please let me know if im wrong because i was told from a tranny shop that i have a cracked flywheel...but my car has the 4l60e auto transmission, so im confused

 

Yes,you are right. They were probably just using the wrong word to describe your part at the time.

 

right on...thanks
