Detailed Product Description

The FRA-418 flexplate is engineered as a replacement automatic transmission flexplate for Jeep CJ7, Jeep Scrambler, Jeep Cherokee, and Jeep Wagoneer models listed in the fitment data. Its 148-tooth ring gear, 12.375-inch outside diameter, and 9.25-inch mounting hole diameter are key dimensions for matching the original application. Pioneer Cables builds this flexplate to factory dimensions and balances it to help maintain smooth engagement between the starter and the rotating assembly. This part cross-references 4663 and 53001184 for the same application.

Common Uses

  • Replacing a cracked or warped flexplate
  • Correcting starter ring gear engagement issues
  • Addressing vibration caused by imbalance
  • Restoring proper automatic transmission crankshaft connection
  • Replacing worn OE-style flexplate components on Jeep CJ7, Cherokee, Scrambler, and Wagoneer models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify tooth count, outer diameter, and mounting dimensions before installation. Confirm the transmission and engine combination matches the listed Jeep fitment, and inspect the starter gear engagement after installation. Because this flexplate is not SFI approved and does not include an SFI certification sticker, it is intended for standard replacement use rather than racing certification requirements.

Quality Assurance

Pioneer Cables manufactures the FRA-418 with high-grade steel, automated welding, and factory-spec balancing to support consistent replacement quality. The part is built to restore OE-level performance in the listed Jeep applications.
