Hawkrod says "or they would not have used one"

By Dave Shoe - 02/18/2002 9:25:55 AM; IP 216.243.158.117

Ford apparently did not always use one.

I agree, otherwise. The logic follows that the plate is used for flexplate reinforcing. I just looked up the official name (plate, flywheel reinforcing), and this does not suggest it's a spacer.

What I don't understand is why the auto-tranny 352 pickup truck got three of them installed. Three would not be any stronger than one, but is more costly and may even be weaker.

This topic remains unresolved with me. The only logic I can fathom is Ford sometimes used the three rings as spacers. I've also got a couple later-year hi-mileage factory flexplates in excellent shape which came without the rings and which show no trace markings of ever having a reinforcing ring.
