Chrysler 300 Automatic Transmission Flexplates

A flexplate is a part of the automatic transmission in its traditional scheme. Occupying the place of the flywheel used in a manual gearbox, the flexplate serves different functions. It also has a toothed rim used by the starter motor for cranking the engine, but its principal duty is bending under the action of a torque converter. That’s in contrast to the flywheel, which is meant to store kinetic energy and thus has a thick and heavy structure. The flywheel is much thinner and lighter, but is weaker, too. As a result, this part can be more troublesome than its equivalent from the manual transmission.

The problems that a faulty flexplate causes can be pretty serious – poor fuel mileage, overheating, loss of power, etc. That’s why you shouldn’t hesitate with the replacement. It doesn’t matter whether you own a new Chrysler 300 with an 8-speed automatic transmission, or the older model equipped with a 3-speed gearbox, the repair is an urgent deed.
