2000 Pontiac Firebird Flywheels

Vehicles with automatic transmissions have a flex plate. Flex plates connect the engine and transmission. Most flex plates are made of a thick piece of sheet metal with bolt holes for the torque converter and teeth for the starter. The job of a flex plate is to allow for expansion of the torque converter as engine RPM increases. The constant expansion and contraction of a flex plate over time can result cracks and/or shearing of the flex plate. A damaged flex plate can create serious (expensive) damage. Broken flex plates can not be repaired, they must be replaced. ATP flex plates are made of high quality steel and contain the correct bolt hole spacing and ring gear teeth just like the original part to ensure long life and durability

Product Features:

• Balanced to factory specs
• Fit and function like the original parts
• Restores normal operation

LuK rigid flywheels, a smart alternative to resurfacing,¿offer a smooth, flat surface crucial for proper clutch operation, are engineered and manufactured to OE specifications, and are dynamically balanced to eliminate vibration and increase clutch performance

Product Features:

• Every component, including the ring gear, is engineered and manufactured to Original Equipment (OE) specifications.
• LuK flywheels are always new and never remanufactured.
• LuK solid flywheels are dynamically balanced to eliminate vibration and increase clutch performance.
• LuK’s engineering and quality materials contribute to a longer service life for the flywheel and clutch system.
• Pairing your clutch set with a new LuK flywheel is a smart, cost-effective alternative to resurfacing.

As performance levels increase, an O.E. style flexplate just won’t cut it and a stronger option is a necessity to prevent transmission and/or converter failure. B&M has you covered with our high performance flexplate designed for GM 1998-up 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L & 6.0L LS engines with 6-bolt crankshaft flange, including 2010-15 Camaro with L99 engine. Features include high tensile strength steel construction to resist elongation and cracking, 10.75 and 11.06 inch converter mounting locations, 168 tooth ring gear with double-sided welds for added strength and comes with SFI 29.1 safety certification insuring the ultimate in safety and performance. The assembly is finished with a Zinc plating and Chromate Conversion Coating for added corrosion resistance and durability. B&M SFI approved flexplates are ideal for extreme duty race applications as well as street cars, tow vehicles or other vehicles needing the added protection and toughness that B&M has been delivering since 1953. Note: Will not fit 1999-00 6.0L applications with 0.400 inch extended crank flange/flat flexplate or 1999-00 4.8L engines that originally came with a manual transmission. A flexplate spacer is required for retrofitting Non LS era transmissions to LS engines.

Product Features:

• NHRA/IHRA Legal For All Classes
• Includes SFI Certification Sticker
• Ideal For Street Applications
• To Extreme Duty Racing
• To High RPM Use

ATP Flywheel Shims install easily restoring machined manual transmission flywheels back to the proper height. On automatic transmissions the shim takes up excessive clearance caused by engine crankshaft endplay or by installing a rebuilt torque converter or rebuilt front pump.
