Video: A Closer Look at Flexplates

Watch this video from our friends at TCI Auto to better understand a flexplate’s role in automatic transmission operation. You learn how the flexplate connects the torque converter to the engine’s crankshaft, functioning in much the same way a flywheel does on a manual tranny. You will also hear about stamped and machined flexplates, how they provide an advantage over stock parts, and the applications for which they are best suited.
