Flexplate

[rare1]

Hey everyone.I'm swapping a 6-bolt into my 93 gsx auto and I need a 4-point flexplate.I've called the dealer but they said they needed the vin.Without vin,no info. Does anybody know the factory part number for a Flexplate for a 6-bolt motor.Thanks in advance.

You can get alot of oem parts at jnztuning.com. check this link i used 92 ### the turbo flexplate didnt come up on 91. the one that says to 4/92 is the six bolt

have you snapped torque converter bolts?

Thanks everyone. I searched through the vendors area and didn't find any,guess I didn't look good enough.And no,I haven't snapped any torque converter bolts yet, hopefully I won't.I'm not looking to make big power,just a little better than stock.

Dude, dont waste your time with the factory pieces. Go with the Kiggly piece. ARP converter bolts for a GM 700R4 are the same thread, just a little too long. Cut em down and you're good to go.

hi im confused and need clarification i have received bad information and now am in a state of confusion. i have been looking for a flexplate because my starter is not meshing with my flexplate/flywheel well i looked online and they seem to call the flexplate a flywheel and checked my vin and have the flywheel for my 97 gst auto tranny . so it doesnt matter flywheel for manual or auto??? and also what is the process of mounting the flywheel to the torque converter? is there a noticeable difference from stock to for say the act or fidanza flywheel? alright thanks all

On our cars the starter gear is not welded to the flexplate.It is built on to the torque converter.Some other cars have the gear welded to the flexplate.You are going to need a torque converter if the gear is messed up.Manual transmission cars use a flywheel,auto's use a flexplate!

^ I concure. Terminology can be confusing with car folks... Typically Automatic Transmission FLYWHEELS are called and concidered "FLEXPLATES", In ALL the world people refer to the Manual transmission type as a "FLYWHEEL". IN your car, your Starter Ring gear is welded to your Toque Convertor, and that bolts up to a Thin Steel "FLEXPLATE" which is bolted to your Crankshaft. IN some cases, Manufacture specific, The Starter Ring-gear In fact is Part of the "FLEXPLATE" and some may call this a "FLYWHEEL" because it more or less resembles that of a Manual transmission type.
HAve I helped at all? Or just confused you more?
Good Luck

If youve ever worked at a dealership in the parts dept which I have, you know that needing the VIN is the easiest way to say sorry bud im too lazy to look. Whenever you look them up by application without a VIN it doesnt break down the parts it will give you several options usually. BUT you still have pictures and I dont think the FLEXPLATES differed much in any of the autos within their respective generations. In other words he was either stupid or lazy.
