I have a Automatic with a paddleshifter, and I was wondering if it has a clutch and a flywheel? Friends tell me to get a aftermarket clutch and a lightweight flywheel, but I didnt think my car would have all of that. They sale aftermarket clutches and flywheels for my car so im just confused. Thanks

The paddle shifters are for controling an automatic trans, there isnt a "clutch" persay, there is a flexplate, but not a flywheel. When you put the floor shifter in a certain position, it tells the computer that you are going to use the paddles and hands control over to those. It is just like using the floor shifter to shift every gear instead of leaving it in drive and letting the computer do it all
