I assume you mean a flex plate (used with auto tranny. Fly wheels are used with manual tranny). Because of the increase fatigue cracking qualities of aluminum, I would never use one on a flex plate (name implies a certain amount of flexing which would be death of aluminum). Now if you mean fly wheel, then the soft aluminum would not make a satisfactory wearing surface for the clutch plate. Either way, I would not consider aluminum.

I personally would not run a aluminum flywheel in your application...
