What It Helps Fix

• Cracked or warped flexplate surfaces
• Starter ring gear wear or tooth damage
• Engine-to-transmission vibration from imbalance
• Noise caused by flexplate fatigue or distortion
• Fitment issues from an incorrect tooth count or bolt pattern

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify tooth count, outside diameter, pitch, and mounting hole diameter before installation. Confirm the transmission and engine combination against the vehicle notes, especially California, modified engine, Windsor engine, cast iron, Thermactor emission, and serial-number-specific applications. For best results, inspect the starter, crankshaft flange, and fasteners for wear before installing the flexplate.
