Important: The flex plate does not use a locating pin for alignment, and will not initially seat against the crankshaft flange, but will be pulled onto the crankshaft by the bolts. This procedure requires a 3 stage tightening
process.
- Install the automatic transmission flex plate to the crankshaft.
- Apply threadlock to the threads of the bolts.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
- Install the bolts.
