ParadiseMJ Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 I need either a good source for, or someone with a Torque Converter for an AW4 91-96 and flexplate for same. I have a known well maintained and operating AW4 (140K miles) without the above that I want to swap in to replace my BA-10...which is failing me. What do they run used, or re-man'd. I also posted in the WTB section.
NotMatt Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 If you have a BA10 that means you have a RENIX motor (87-90), and thus you need an 87-90 flexplate. Reason-being that the CPS style is different from RENIX to HO 4.0's, and the flexplate is what has the "windows" in it that the CPS reads. Make sure you remove the pilot bushing for the BA10 from the crank when doing this swap too. Finally, I have the flexplate that you need, but no torque converter... and I'm sure shipping is a pain. You should be able to find both parts locally at any parts store.
ParadiseMJ Posted April 13, 2012 Author Posted April 13, 2012 Thanks for that information. I thought I had to use the flexplate from the newer tranny...now I know what I'm looking for...and why. I have a TC coming from a member on NAXJA. I'll check NAPA for the flexplate. :bowdown: Thanks.

Took a little bit of head-scratching to figure it out.
