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.

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.
