Jeff57 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The flexplate on my 1987, 2.5l is out of tolerance. Did not mic but looks like ~1/2" runout (probably an exaggeration, but excessive). Checked on new ones and it shows it takes a 13.83" diameter- 164 tooth flexplate. Mine is 12.5" diameter- 148 tooth. Has anybody run across this before? On a related note, there is a plate that mounts with the flexplate to the crank. Is this a spacer? Should this be mounted on the crank side or on the torque converter side. I've had the motor and transmission separated for about 10 years. Trying to throw the vehicle back together for my grandson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The little plate goes on AFTER the flexplate. Torque converter side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff57 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Thanks for the links cruiser54! Lot of good information. The pictures are going to help eventually. Like I said, this project has been in pieces for around a decade. All nuts and bolts are bagged and tagged, but it has been a loooong time. Thanks again.
