Flexplate - How Flexplates Work vs Flywheel

I came in here to learn something and got an advertisement, lol.

I thought I will get some knowledge but I got an advertisement

Got a ?....I need a flexplate for an automatic transmission in a 2000 Dodge Durango w/ a 5.9 V8. Parts stores I have talked to sell the flexplate without the ring gear attached. I can't seem to understand why anyone(including me) would want a flexplate without the gear(teeth) attached. Any thoughts?

@Summit Racing
I am looking at possibly replacing my Flexplate. How much is it supposed to flex? I can bend it by prying lightly around the edge with a screw driver from the inspection cover area. i can also push it in with one finger. It appears to be much thinner than TCI brand flexwheels. it is also hitting the bolts around the crankshaft which leads me to believe it is cracked.

I want know is available for manual transmission

can i install a lightweight flywheel onto a auto car?

Flexplate on Jeep Cherokee makes occasional  noise, does wheel alignment, larger tires or 2"-4" lift affect performance and/or create noise?

Can you explain how a torque converter "grows" as RPM increases such that a flexplate needs to flex? I just don't get it.....how does increasing fluid pressure inside the torque converter make "flexing" necessary?

I have a question I bought a 3/4 ton GMC that had a motor swap the flexplate is cracked now but the person I bought it from doesn't know what vehicle the motor or trans came out of how to I insure I get the proper flexplate for my application? any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Can a flexplate cause shudder between 30 to 40 mph ?

I listened your phone operators on the type of Torque Converter I needed for my 383 Stroker with TCI flex plate and you guys sent me the wrong one and are charging me for shipment... Ill never buy from Summit again

Why does she groan when she is finished with a sentence? lol

So does the flexplate also work as a flywheel in the sense to keep the crank shaft's rotational inertia?

Upgrade to high performance 350. Old flywheel has center bolts at 3 1/2 inch apart.need one for 3 inch to fit back of new crankshaft.can I get one that's 14 1/3 inches in diameter so the starter will still work.video was helpful!!

so i can put in a flex plate or a flywheel?

Thanks for the info... It is promoting their products but also helped me (novice DIY car repairman) learn that a flexplate is automatic transmission while flywheel is manual transmission. ; )

gr8 work I'm a buy one of theses

could the narrator please disengage her pocket rocket prior to recording for video's THANK YOU

If I had the wrong flexplate would it cause my engine not to spark?

I don't know why there are 2 sets of teeth on This maxima v-6 flexplate

Hate to have her turn my crank. Cause .2 is 2/10ths of an inch. Not 2000th of an inch

I have a 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5 automatic.  my starter is skipping during starting..i am told that I need a new flywheel. does my car use a flywheel or flexplate

You use e coat because it's significantly cheaper, not because it offers superior anti corrosion performance.

A zinc plated flex plate if properly baked out will perform identically in fatigue applications.

Hello. I was wondering if their is more then one flex plate in my 2013 dodge journey?

She sounds like she's having an orgasm at the end of each sentence.

There's a flexplate better then original 62te fore doge journey? Can you send me the link where buy it?
Thank you

she keeps stretching out the last half of the last word in each sentence. its odd.

That is otherwise identicaummme

Puzzled. If the amount of flexing is important, to take up axial movement in the crank and/or the torque converter, then surely a much thicker, machined flexplate will have a different amount of flexing and perhaps give durability problems elsewhere?

Love you voice btw.

I have a chvy express 2012 cargo van, and it breaks the flexwheel every 6 to 8 moths i have change 4 or 6 times already my mechanic its going crazy and he can't explain what causes this. He has done anything in his power to prevent this and keeps happening. Is this a common problem on this cargo vans? Im selling this thing im done!

ATS needs to make four and six cylinder flexplates, not just V8 flexplates.

I have a 1982 Chevy 350 cu. in. engine in my old Cube Van. I just swapped the original TH400 trans. to a 1991 Chevy 700R4 transmisssion. Is there a difference in the Flexplate that was on the engine for the TH400... and one I should be using for my newer 700R4 ? Thanks in advance ! LET'S GO BRANDON !

They need to make V-6 and Inline 4 cylinder flex plates that are billet also, and thicker than OEM!!!!!😁

Nothing but a sales pitch. The actual "explanation" of how a flex plate works was totally lacking. Waste of time for both anyone who needs to learn or anyone who ready knows how a flex plate works.

How does it bend if there are bolts holding in place? Is that why they are breaking?

Do you have a Flex plate more stronger fore Dodge C/V 2014. The OEM crack every 5k miles

When you say “mild-medium street applications” and “high performance”…. What horsepower level are we talking.? I’m going to be pushing about 850hp through a 1988 s10. What would that be considered?

If I don't have torque converter bolted to flexplate will starter labor more

Good but ,what's the difference between the salid &star looking kind ?

Why does she keep moaning!

this is weird i am just now learning about this. always worked on manual trans. never really knew how torque converters worked

Do a lot of people race with automatics?

Every other sentence is finished off with an 'unhhm'. Summit racing california influencer special narration :D

You said chances are you have the part for my vehicle and I got the nope chance on my 2002 Toyota 4runner sr5 2wd

Excellent info.
