Flex Plate

Hi all,
There was a TSB on the flex plate. They were breaking even when everything was lined up due to bolts improperly torqued and/or insufficent thread locker. These are the ones that attach the plate to the crank and the 4 that the converter bolts to. I would reccomend having a mechanic check the torque on the converter mount bolts which are accessable by removing the rubber timing cover on the bell housing if there is a noise. Also, I would replace these bolts anytime the plate is removed. (many manufacturers reccomend this) It may be overkill but hey, I'll pay a buck a bolt for piece of mind.
