The flex plates connect the engine and transmission. Most flex plates are made of a thick piece of sheet metal with bolt holes for the torque converter and teeth for the starter. The job of a flex plate is to allow for expansion of the torque converter as engine RPM increases. The constant expansion and contraction of a flex plate over time can result cracks and\/or shearing of the flex plate. A damaged flex plate can create serious and expensive damage. Broken flex plates cannot be repaired, they must be replaced. Pioneer Flex Plates are made of high-quality steel and contain the correct bolt hole spacing and ring gear teeth just like the original part to ensure long life and durability.","brand":"ATP (1298)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52744017871124,"sku":"Z-460","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4214\/9396\/files\/10855495_atp_z460_pri_larg.jpg?v=1783231774","url":"https:\/\/districtmailing.com\/products\/atp-improved-heavy-duty-automatic-transmission-flex-plate","provider":"District Mailing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
