    i cant complain about it. i paid close attention to the way the old flexplate came off of the engine, and installed the new one the same way. there's a small notch/hole in one of the flywheel bolt holes that will give you a way to keep it in 'alignment'.... making it an easy swap. ive run mine from idle to 6500 rpm's and no problems what-so-ever..... the only bad part is that im gonna go ahead and swap the AOD on my car and now i dont need it :biglaugh: but i guess i can always keep it for another project.

    keep us updated on your's (y)
