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.

As performance levels increase, an O.E. style flex plate just won’t cut it and a stronger option is a necessity to prevent transmission and/or converter failure. B&M has you covered with our high-performance flex plate designed for GM 1997-up 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L & 6.0L LS engines with 6-bolt crankshaft flange, including 2010-15 Camaro with the L99 engine. Features include high tensile strength steel construction to resist elongation and cracking, 10.75 and 11.06-inch converter mounting locations, 168 tooth ring gear with double-sided welds for added strength and comes with SFI 29.1 safety certification ensuring the ultimate in safety and performance. The assembly is finished with Zinc plating and Chromate Conversion Coating for added corrosion resistance and durability. B&M SFI-approved flexplates are ideal for extreme duty race applications as well as street cars, tow vehicles, or other vehicles needing the added protection and toughness that B&M has been delivering since 1953. Note: Will not fit 1999-00 6.0L applications with 0.400 inch extended crank flange/flat flex plate or 1999-00 4.8L engines that originally came with a manual transmission. A flex plate spacer is required for retrofitting Non-LS era transmissions to LS engines.
