Detailed Product Description

The Pioneer Cables FRA-417 is an automatic transmission flexplate made to match OE dimensions and restore factory-style fit and function.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 4669 for the same application. The FRA-417 also aligns with common interchange references used in the aftermarket, including F1DZ6375C and FM241.

What This Flexplate Helps Address

• Cracked or warped flexplate surfaces
• Starter engagement noise caused by worn ring gear teeth
• Vibration from an out-of-balance flexplate
• Driveline noise related to flexplate fatigue
• Fitment issues when the original 135-tooth, 11.313-inch design is required

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify tooth count, outside diameter, and mounting dimensions before installation. Confirm that the vehicle requires a 135-tooth flexplate with a 12-to-14 pitch flywheel specification. Inspect the starter, crankshaft flange, and transmission interface for wear before installing the new flexplate. For best results, follow the vehicle service manual for torque values and installation sequence.
