Are all the LS1 F body A4 flexplates created equal, '98-'02? I know some are cracking....Are '98's better than '01's or '02's? All the same part #'s? Thanks. WJ.

 

'98 is much more solid-looking. I bought one from Valvegod
and had it put in during my TC swap. It's the later ones that
they got a little stingy with the steel. There was a thread a
while back on here that showed pictures of the two styles.

 

Thanks Jimmyblue. Happy New Year. I now have LS1 edit installed. Forgot to mention that in my 60' times thread...Best wishes. WJ.

 

they make a sfi flexplate for our cars now also.

The '98-'00s are stronger. After that they're weaker.

 

I'm still running the stocker in my 02. Hopefully she holds together for me.

 

Yeah, me too. But I have a spare '00 on hand if it fails.

 

Hehe.. yeah take it from experience.. 01 & up flexplates SUCK!

 

I have a 2001 Z28, and just went through a TC install, so I figured while they were in there they should just replace the flexplate. I purchased the TCI SF29 plate, one less headache to worry about.
