DukeGB Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) I am having issues with flex plates on my 93 Loyale. It has 185k on it and the second one I replaced just cracked. Looking for help on whats causing it and if there is an after market replacement. Edited April 17, 2012 by DukeGB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presslab Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Sounds like a misalignment between the transaxle and the engine. Did you notice if the two locating pins are still in the bellhousing? Check the bellhousing for any signs of cracking or damage. Also check the end play on the crank, maybe the engine bearings are hosed.

skishop69 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 +1 on those. Also could be the torque converter and or converter bushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeGB Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks for the response presslab and skishop69, I will look into those items. At this point the car is parked until I have more time to deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Are you missing the reinforcing plate that goes over the flex plate bolt pattern before the bolts go in? GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
