What this part does
The flywheel or flexplate on an automatic transmission connects the engine crankshaft to the torque converter, transferring rotational power from the engine to the drivetrain. It also features a toothed outer ring that the starter motor engages with to crank the engine.
When this component fails, it is typically due to metal fatigue causing hairline cracks around the center crankshaft mounting bolts, or from worn and broken teeth on the outer ring gear. A cracked flexplate produces a distinct, rhythmic metallic rattling or knocking sound from the bell housing area that changes with engine RPM. Damaged ring gear teeth will cause the starter to grind or fail to turn the engine over entirely.

Before you order
Match the OEM part number exactly to the unit you are replacing. This specific plate is designed for the N63 4.4L V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission. Always use new, factory-specification mounting bolts when securing the flexplate to the crankshaft, and torque them to the manufacturer's precise sequence and specifications. Inspect your starter motor pinion gear for excessive wear before reassembly, as a failing starter can damage the teeth on the replacement part.
