1987 Mustang Flywheels and Flexplates
Restore Your 1987 Mustang’s Ride Quality with a New Flywheel or Flexplate
1987 Mustang Flywheels & Flexplates
Your 1987 Mustang's flywheel or flexplate sits between the transmission and engine, making sure the engine doesn’t lurch or jump while running. Depending on your transmission, your Fox Body uses either a manual flywheel or automatic flexplate. No matter which you have, they're an integral part of your Mustang's ride quality.
As it spins, the flywheel or flexplate stores the energy that your engine generates and uses it to help the transmission shift gears and maintain peak performance.
Lightweight flywheels and flexplates are best for high-performance applications, using less energy to get spinning. The result is better throttle response, increased horsepower, smoother driving, and even improved fuel economy. But, if you want an authentic rebuild, a stock replacement will maintain the factory specs while giving you the benefit of modern durability and materials.
