Detailed Product Description

The Pioneer Cables FRA-222 is an automatic transmission flexplate engineered to match original dimensions and restore proper starter engagement and rotational balance. Its 138-tooth design and 11.625-inch outside diameter align with the listed Ford and Mercury fitments, including 1984 Ford Bronco II, 1983-1984 Ford Ranger, 1979 Ford Mustang, 1975-1979 Ford Pinto, and 1975-1979 Mercury Bobcat. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 4385 for the same application.

Use the FRA-222 when replacing a worn, cracked, or out-of-spec flexplate in a Ford Mustang, Ford Pinto, or Mercury Bobcat drivetrain where correct tooth count and balance are critical. The part number FRA-222 is also commonly searched by buyers looking for a Ford Ranger flexplate replacement with the correct 138-tooth configuration.

What This Flexplate Helps Address

• Cracked or fatigued flexplate material
• Starter engagement issues caused by incorrect tooth count
• Engine vibration related to imbalance
• Noise from a damaged or warped flexplate
• Fitment problems from incorrect diameter or mounting pattern

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify tooth count, outside diameter, and mounting hole diameter before installation. Confirm the transmission and engine combination matches the listed application, and inspect the starter gear engagement and crankshaft flange condition during replacement. Because this is a precision-balanced flexplate, handle it carefully to avoid bending or contamination before installation.
