Default Flex plate question
I am looking at a new flex plate. My plans are to put a manual in it, its auto, so are the flex plates the same for auto and manual?

Only automatics use a flexplate, Manual Transmissions use a Fly Wheel.

The flexplate transfers the engines power from the engine, to the torque converter, if its so broken it doesn't move, you'll have to tow it.
