Pioneer Cables FRA-480 Automatic Transmission Flexplate

Automatic Transmission Flexplate for Jeep Applications

The Pioneer Cables FRA-480 is an automatic transmission flexplate built to restore OEM-level performance in select Jeep applications. It is made from high-grade steel, formed to original dimensions, welded with an automated process for consistent strength, and precision balanced to factory specifications.

Compatible with 1991-1995 Jeep Cherokee, 1993-1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and 1991-1992 Jeep Comanche, this flexplate is a direct-fit replacement for vehicles that require a 164-tooth, 13.813-inch outside diameter design. The FRA-480 is a practical choice when replacing a worn, cracked, or out-of-spec flexplate in these Jeep models.

Detailed Description

Pioneer Cables FRA-480 is engineered as a replacement automatic transmission flexplate for Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Comanche applications listed above. The 164-tooth ring gear and 13.813-inch outside diameter match the specified OE-style dimensions, while the 6-hole mounting pattern supports proper alignment during installation. This part cross-references 52117761 and 53006324 for the same application.

Use the FRA-480 when the original flexplate shows signs of fatigue, damage, or imbalance. Its factory-spec balancing and welded steel construction help maintain smooth starter engagement and reliable drivetrain operation in the correct Jeep fitments.

What It Helps Address

• Cracked or warped flexplate surfaces
• Starter engagement issues caused by worn ring gear teeth
• Vibration from an out-of-balance flexplate
• Noise from damaged or fatigued transmission-to-engine connection points
• Replacement needs after inspection reveals incorrect flexplate dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify tooth count, outside diameter, mounting hole pattern, and pitch flywheel requirements before installation. Confirm the transmission and engine combination matches the listed Jeep applications, and inspect the starter, crankshaft flange, and related hardware for wear or damage before fitting the new flexplate. Proper torque procedures and alignment checks are important for reliable operation.
