ParadiseMJ Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 That's it. Do you have this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Only the one that's on my AW4 Charlie - sorry. But it looks like they are cheaply available at several places. Mopar J3214094. Curious - what happened to yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 I was so happy to see a response I missed the link. Yeah, only $5.99...even I can afford that. Answer: It didn't have one, I noticed it after I pulled the tranny last week to replace the torque converter. I didn't know it needed one until I started looking at the parts catalog. Doh! Anyway, thanks a lot for the link and info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 They call it a reinforcement plate - probably because it helps keep the flexplate from cracking? Good you spotted it........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 My flexplate cracked almost perfectly around that plate. So I suppose it does something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
