Auto Gearbox Flexplates
Does anyone have any experience with these ?
Just been informed that my flexplate has cracked, I understand the principle of the flexplate and torque convertor, however if these two parts fail does that render the whole box scrap ? (as this is what I'm being told)
Just wondering if I'm getting mugged off ?
Any advice appreciated

Absolute bollocks you are being told mate.
I have always had auto cars, tuned as well, and cracked/broke a few plates, well three in 25 years, one was a x flow at 180bhp though with original 1300 flex plate.
Why do you think yours is cracked ?
What car/box is it.

Dont no about Merc flex plates, But its not rare for ford flex plates to crack , Torque converter failer is the most common reason for cracking.

Symptoms were as Dave has pointed out, however does a failed torque converter and flexplate ALWAYS = knackered box ? or is every case different ?
