what is the difference between a "flexplate" and a "pressure plate" I ordered a flew plate beucase i was under the inpression that it was the same thing..

That is the only thing im mission in my conversion// can someone point me in the right direction please.

 

A flexplate bolts to the back of the motor when using an automatic. It goes where the flywheel does in a manual set-up. The pressure plate is what presses the clutch disc to the flywheel. Hope this helps.

 

exactly what he said. when buying a clutch kit, it usually comes with the clutch pac, pressure plate and alignment tool. additionally you need a flywheel.

 

your saing a NEED a ney flywheel when doing this swap??

 

Flexplate for an auto car....


Flywheel for a manual car....


Pressure plate for a manual car.....


Auto car has a flexplate which the torque convertor bolts too.

Manual car has a flywheel which the pressure plate bolts to with the clutch disc in between.



So you will need

Clutch kit-Pressure plate, clutch disc, throwout bearing, and pilot bearing
Flywheel

 

the question still stands... do i HAVE to have a new flywheel when doing this swap?

 

If you have a used flywheel in good shape, meaning no heat created stress cracks, use it.

 

its also good to get the flywheel resurfaced before you install it.
