Detailed Product Overview

The FRA-317 flexplate is engineered for automatic transmission service where correct tooth count, bolt pattern, and balance are critical. With 164 teeth and a 14.25-inch outside diameter, it matches the dimensional requirements listed for a wide range of Ford E-Series vans and Ford F-Series trucks from the 1983-1991 model years. This part number, FRA-317, also cross-references Gates 33679 for the same application.

Use this flexplate when replacing a worn, cracked, or out-of-spec automatic transmission flexplate on Ford E-150 Econoline, Ford E-250 Econoline, Ford E-350 Econoline, Ford F-150, Ford F-250, Ford F-350, and related 1983-era Ford E-100 and F-100 applications. The steel construction and factory-style balance help maintain proper starter engagement and drivetrain operation.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Cracked or fatigued flexplate material
• Starter engagement issues caused by worn teeth
• Vibration from an out-of-balance flexplate
• Noise from damaged or distorted flexplate surfaces
• Incorrect replacement dimensions on Ford automatic transmission service

Installation Notes and Fitment Tips

Verify tooth count, outside diameter, mounting hole diameter, and pitch before installation. Confirm the transmission and engine combination matches the listed Ford applications, since flexplate fitment depends on exact drivetrain configuration. Inspect the starter ring gear area, crankshaft flange, and related fasteners for wear or damage before assembly.
