I broke one a couple of years ago on a high rpm 1-2 shift...
This last weekend on a cruise, a person reved his engine in a tunnel and when he put it back in drive his car started making a sound similar to the one mine made when it broke. Sure enough, he did break it. So, how many?

 

Me! Replaced with a TCI.

 

2 here, before I went with the TCI SFI one.

Its only a problem on the 01 and 02 cars. Not sure why other than GM switched to a cheaper flex plate. Te best fix is a tci plate.

 

Cool, so my 2003 4L80E flexplate from a 2500 Series van should be able to hold some power?

 

I broke my stock LT1 flexplate, not sure if that counts lol

 

man i am waitin on the fed ex man right this very moment i overnighted my new one in tci here i boke mine sat night.......so thats why they break? goin from drive to neutral and back to drive???

 

does anyone know what this sounds like?

 

because when I went to crank my car up a couple of days ago everything sounded fine..then a couple of days later I went to crank it up again and heard a sharp tapping sound..not like lifter tap and its not unevenly spaced out like a rod bearing...I THINK its my flexplate but just want to make sure...btw my car does not have 2nd, 3rd, or 4th right now lol...getting new trans put in tomorrow but I want to know if its going to be a waste of their time

 

Mine broke in late January 2009. Replaced it with a SFI approved flex plate.

 

mine just cracked last week..upgraded to an sfi this weekend......

 

mine had a crack..replaced it with an SFI approved ATI one.

 

so my car was built in 1999 does that mean i have the better one?

 

im guessing any SFI approved is good? or at least better than stock? I have a 98 Ta and im about to get a 3200 stall.

 

broke mine without realizing it. car had this ticking noise and it drove fine for months but when i had tranny work done we saw the bolt holes had cracked to the outside makeing that tick tick noise. Got a stock replacement. next time i get the TCI flexplate

 

This is what mine sounded like when it broke, lol. I broke it on all 3 bolt holes, dont know how I managed to pull that one off

I swear mine sounded just like that. i didnt know what the hell that noise was. I got a new one put in, when i got my new 3600 vig stall put in.

 

yup, this is why a new fp is goin in with the new stall.

 

what tci part# you guys used?
