aluminum flywheel?

Does anyone know if they make an aluminum flywheel for a 2.8, manual or automatic?

i wouldn't worry about it for an auto...the stock one barely weighs anything.

yeah, the flexplate on an auto is very light.

Also, flexplates have to flex, which is why they call them flexplates. Aluminum, unlike steel tends to snap instead of flex.

Automatics have flexplates and I don't think they make any aftermarket ones for the 2.8,3.1, nor the 3.4.

However, there is one company that makes aluminim flywheels for 2.8's and 3.1's

Check www.hawksthirdgenparts.com www.hawksthirdgenparts.com

they carry the aluminum flywheels for manual transmissions.
