would it do any good to replace the flywheel on an automatic with a lightweight one? every engine has a flywheel so wouldnt it get rid of some rotating mass even still?

Why are you guys flaming him. I think it's a good idea.

Autos are completely different. Id probably get a better torque converter, but then again, i wouldnt be caught dead in an auto, unless its not mine.

dude, your flywheel weighs like less than a frisbee.(well almost) no need to, but a good question if it hadnt been asked many times before.

.the flexplate(flywheel) is already very thin b/c it doesnt have to hold the pressure of a clutch engaging on it .there for its already light and theres no need to lighten it .maybe you should learn somthing b.f you try and making me look like a dumbass when clearly the only dumbass i see is you.Thank you have a good day.....
