Pioneer Cables FRA-562 Automatic Transmission Flexplate

Automatic Transmission Flexplate for Ford and Lincoln

The Pioneer Cables FRA-562 automatic transmission flexplate is a direct replacement for select Ford and Lincoln applications that use a 164-tooth ring gear and 8-bolt mounting pattern. Built to original dimensions from high-grade steel, it is welded for consistent strength and then precision balanced to factory specifications.

Use this flexplate when servicing a Ford F-150, Expedition, E-150, E-250, or related V8 automatic transmission setup that calls for the FRA-562 configuration.

Detailed Description

Pioneer Cables FRA-562 is an automatic transmission flexplate made to restore original driveline function in Ford and Lincoln vehicles that require a 164-tooth, 14.25-inch-class flexplate. It is engineered to match original dimensions, helping maintain proper starter alignment, crankshaft connection, and rotational balance in applications such as the Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator. This part cross-references Ford OE-style numbers such as 4C3Z6375AA and F6AZ6375DA for the same application.

The FRA-562 is a practical replacement choice for vehicles including 1997-2010 Ford F-150, 2005-2014 Ford Expedition, 2005-2014 Lincoln Navigator, and other listed Ford E-Series and Super Duty applications that specify 164 teeth and the matching bolt pattern.

What It Helps Fix

• Cracked or warped flexplate surfaces
• Starter engagement problems caused by worn ring gear teeth
• Engine vibration related to imbalance in the flexplate
• Noise from damaged or fatigued mounting areas
• Drivetrain issues after transmission or engine service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify tooth count, outside diameter, and bolt pattern before installation. Confirm the application uses a 164-tooth flexplate with the correct 8-hole mounting layout and 12 to 14 pitch flywheel specification. Inspect the starter, crankshaft flange, and mounting surfaces for wear or damage before assembly. For best results, follow the vehicle service manual for torque sequence and fastener specifications.

Quality Assurance

Pioneer Cables builds this flexplate as an OE-style replacement using high-grade steel, automated welding, and factory-spec balancing to support consistent fit and operation. SFI approval is not listed for this part.
