Like the topic says, I was wondering if anyone has tried this, and if so, what kind of changes did you notice? If no one has actually tried it, then perhaps someone could speculate as to whether this would be a good or bad idea. Yet again, I must urge you to be gentle, I'm a relative newbie when it comes to this stuff.

flywheels are for manual cars ONLY. AUTOs use flexplates and torque converters...

You know, I had a feeling that they were only on manual cars, but then I was reading that one sticky (Engines 101) and it said that both manuals and autos have flywheels. Oh well...

They are similar since they both have ring gears for the starter but only a flywheel has a mating surface for the clutch disc.
