In a car's clutch, a flywheel connects to the engine, and a clutch plate connects to the transmission. You can see what this looks like in the figure below. more from how stuff works

One of the most overlooked areas for performance improvement is the
drivetrain. Many people disregard clutch, lightweight flywheel and gearbox modifications in
their pursuit for more speed, worrying too much about adding more power,
and too little about applying it.
Autotech can help you decide which drivetrain modifications are right
for you. Whether you're trying to improve your car's highway cruising
economy, or going for all-out performance, we will be your voice of
reason through the entire process. Don't let your car's drivetrain hold
you back. Supercar performance is only a shift away!

Today, thanks to Clutch Masters, increased holding pressure does not
necessarily mean increased pedal pressure and the problems that can
accompany it. By re-engineering the leverage or fulcrum point on the
pressure plate through their Hi-Leveragetm Technique, Clutch
Masters has increased clamping power, often without changing pedal
pressure.
Excessively increased pedal pressure, as found in many of today's traditional high performance clutches, places an unsafe amount of pressure on the delicate crankshaft thrust bearing found in most of today's sport compact automobiles. Placing undue stress on the thrust bearing typically causes the bearing to wear prematurely or fail altogether. This failure can lead to catastrophic internal engine damage.
A clutch, simply put, is a friction device that disengages and engages the engine from the transmission to allow for transition from motionless to movement and for gear changes. For street applications a smooth transition of power is essential while still being able to transfer all the power of the engine to the transmission. As power output of engines increase and demands on clutches become greater - for example high performance street or racing cars - the holding and clamping capacity of a clutch also must increase. This is where Clutch Masters' innovative engineering comes into play.
Clutch Masters also supply a wide range of lightweight flywheels for use with their clutch kits
Fidanza
WHY DO YOU OFFER BOTH STEEL AND LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM FLYWHEELS? – Our steel
flywheels are designed to be some the strongest flywheels on the market.
They are designed to be used where extreme strength is the issue and not
increased performance. Some examples of this would be in rock crawling
vehicles and sand rails. Our aluminum lightweight flywheels are also very strong and
will give a tremendous boost in performance without affecting
driveability.
