Check the starter, torque converter bolt pattern, and transmission application carefully, especially on vehicles listed with modified engine versions, aluminum automatic transmission notes, or C6-only fitment. Inspect the starter ring gear and surrounding drivetrain components for wear before installing the new flexplate.
