Pioneer Cables FRA-416 Automatic Transmission Flexplate

Automatic Transmission Flexplate Overview

Pioneer Cables FRA-416 is an automatic transmission flexplate built to restore OEM-level performance in the drivetrain. It is made from high-grade steel, formed to original dimensions, and precision balanced to factory specifications for consistent operation in Ford Taurus, Lincoln Continental, and Mercury Sable applications.

With 135 teeth and an 11.313-inch outside diameter, this flexplate is a direct replacement for select 1988-1990 vehicles that require the specified tooth count and mounting dimensions. The FRA-416 part number is also a useful reference when matching the correct automatic transmission flexplate for these applications.

Key Features

• High-grade steel construction for strength and durability
• Original-dimension replacement for proper fitment
• Automated welding process for consistent weld quality
• Precision balanced to factory specifications
• 135-tooth ring gear design
• 11.313-inch outside diameter

Detailed Product Description

The Pioneer Cables FRA-416 automatic transmission flexplate is engineered as a replacement for OE-style driveline service where correct tooth count, diameter, and balance are critical. It is built for 12-pitch flywheel applications and is intended to match the original geometry needed for smooth starter engagement and reliable torque transfer. This part cross-references Ford E9DZ6375B and F240 for the same application.

Compatible With 1989-1990 Ford Taurus, N/A; 1989-1990 Lincoln Continental, N/A; 1989-1990 Mercury Sable, N/A; and 1988 Lincoln Continental, N/A with weight. The FRA-416 part number should be matched carefully to the vehicle’s original flexplate specifications, especially the 135 teeth and 11.3-inch outer diameter noted in the fitment data.

What This Flexplate Helps Address

• Cracked or fatigued flexplate material
• Starter engagement issues caused by worn ring gear teeth
• Vibration from an out-of-balance flexplate
• Incorrect replacement dimensions during transmission service
• Noise or driveline concerns related to flexplate wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify tooth count, outside diameter, mounting hole diameter, and pitch before installation. Confirm that the replacement matches the original application for Ford Taurus, Lincoln Continental, or Mercury Sable, since automatic transmission flexplates must align with the starter and crankshaft pattern exactly. Inspect related drivetrain components during service and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s installation procedures.

Quality Assurance

Pioneer Cables manufactures this flexplate using automated welding and factory balancing to help maintain consistent quality and OE-style performance. The FRA-416 is built as a replacement part for applications that require accurate dimensions and dependable balance.
