Detailed Description

The ATP Parts Z-494 flexplate connects the engine to the automatic transmission and provides the interface for the torque converter and starter ring gear. In normal operation, the flexplate handles repeated expansion and contraction as engine speed changes, so material quality and accurate dimensions matter. This replacement uses the proper 139-tooth ring gear and 11.75-inch outer diameter to match the listed Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep applications, including Jeep Wrangler, Chrysler 300, and Dodge Magnum models. If you are replacing a cracked or sheared flexplate, Z-494 restores the OE-style mounting and starter engagement needed for dependable operation.

This part cross-references Pioneer Automotive Industries FRA-550 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Cracked flexplate from repeated stress and flexing
• Sheared or damaged ring gear teeth

• Torque converter mounting issues from incorrect bolt spacing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses the listed 139-tooth, 11.75-inch automatic transmission flexplate before installation.
