The main difference in any flywheel for an a/t and a manual trans is the a/t has a torque converter that bolts to it. The manual trans flywheel uses a clutch and pressure plate set-up which requires the machined surface of the flywheel to be smooth and clean for the clutch to engage.

First of all anybody with one foot can drive an automatic! Manual transmission reqires use of left foot and right hand at same time (sometimes hard fo run-cordinated people)! Automatic has some "slippage" in use, - and that costs you a small amount on mileage. Standard gives you beter control of gears you "want to be in". Also better "feeling' verhivcle on slick roads! Properly used an automatic (still) may not last as long as standard, and probably will cost more to repair! However if you don'y treat clutch properly, you will need to replace clutch occasionally! Though at least the standard transmission is a whole lot esasier to take out! (Which has to be done to get clutch out for replacement)! Personally (as old mechanic), - I would take a standard over automatic "any day of the week"! Have had far better luck with standards, -- I have never owned a new car, - and mostly mine are over 100K when I get tehm, -- so I have no idea how they have been treated, - but it is easier and cheaper to replace a clutch than an automatic transmission!

I don't have pictures but an automatic flywheel is basically a steel flex plate with a ring gear for the starter and hole for the torque converter bolts. The standard shift flywheel is going to be thivker and will have a machined face aprox 3 inches wide for the clutch to engage on and it will have bolt holes around that for the pressure plate to bolt too.
