The manual gearbox has the weight incorporated into the flywheel.
The auot uses a seperate counterweight.
The auto counterweight is used along with aftermarket flywheels that are generally lighter than the stock cast iron ones and usually are able to handle higher rpm safely as they are either billet Steel,or an Ally and Steel combo.
