Its between the header/midpipe.Why No flywheel on an auto... you are thinking torque converter, which in essence is bolted to the "flywheel" as in a large round steel plate with gear teath cut on the outside, but no mating surface for the clutch... Lightweight pistons and such.... for what, it's a Vibe it was never ment for speed... They ARE out there... http://monkeywrenchracing.com/....htmlThe rattle is prolly a lose heat shield....

LevelTen does the most Tranny work for our Vibe. MWR also has a Torque Converter replacement.
