2009 Ford E-250 Flywheels

ATP Flywheel Shims install easily restoring machined manual transmission flywheels back to the proper height. On automatic transmissions the shim takes up excessive clearance caused by engine crankshaft endplay or by installing a rebuilt torque converter or rebuilt front pump.

Flywheel and flex plate bolts play an important role in the performance and safety of race cars and street machines alike. that is why the fastener experts at ARP have developed special bolts that are far superior to OEM hardware. ARP offers two styles of flywheel/flex plate bolts: High Performance and Pro Series. They are both forged from aerospace alloy and heat treated prior to thread rolling and machining. Both feature an exclusive, flat, 12 point head design and larger than stock shank diameter for increased strength and improved flywheel register. The popular High Performance series is rated at 180,000 PSI, and the premium grade Pro Series, originally developed for NASCAR competition, has a 200,000 PSI rating.

Vehicles with automatic transmissions have a flex plate. The flex plates connect the engine and transmission. Most flex plates are made of a thick piece of sheet metal with bolt holes for the torque converter and teeth for the starter. The job of a flex plate is to allow for expansion of the torque converter as engine RPM increases. The constant expansion and contraction of a flex plate over time can result cracks and/or shearing of the flex plate. A damaged flex plate can create serious and expensive damage. Broken flex plates cannot be repaired, they must be replaced. Pioneer Flex Plates are made of high-quality steel and contain the correct bolt hole spacing and ring gear teeth just like the original part to ensure long life and durability.

Hays heavy-duty flexplates for high performance and competition engines are constructed of a thicker than stock steel plate, enabling them to withstand the stress of high-stall torque converters and high-RPM engines. While factory stock plates tend to crack around the crankshaft hub when punished under high torque and RPM conditions, the thicker Hays flexplate handles the force. These H.D. flexplates are supplied with a ring gear that is securely welded in place and feature dual bolt patterns. All Hays heavy-duty flexplates are zinc-dichromate plated to resist corrosion and are SFI certified under specification 29.1.
