TCI flexplate strikes again...
TCI flexplate strikes again... Yeah i am another victim of the powercoating wearing off and losening the bolts. I ground down the coating on the holes that the converter attached to just not the 6 that connect the flexplate to the engine...guess with ones came lose...yup all 6 were lose to the finger touch...so just a heads you to anyone out there that might look past this, take away the coating from every single hole...just a poor design part by tci, oh well lesson learned at least it wasn't a rod knock like it sounded like...it really sounded horrible...

I'm sorry to hear that you had a problem with the flexplate. We actually stopped powdercoating the flexplate 1 1/2 years ago. The new E-coating doesn't have the problem that the old powdercoating did.
