Its what the clutch is bolted to and is what you use to get the power from the engine to the tranny.

Here is a version of what I said that includes the clutch.

Yes as auto cars have what is called a Flex plate and is what the torque converter is bolted onto and that is what transfers power from the engine to auto tranny.
