Product Details
Jeep J-Series Automatic Transmission 1979, Automatic Transmission Flexplate by Omix-ADA®. OEM Style. The flexplate is bolted to the crankshaft. Its mass helps balance the engine and dampen vibration, it provides the mounting point for the clutch cover and the friction surface for the clutch disc, and the teeth around its circumference provide engagement for the starter drive. The flexplate surface can become worn and scored to the point it requires replacement, and the ring gear teeth can become damaged. If your flexplate is in need of replacement, Omix-ADA has the new unit that will have you shifting smoothly again.
Features
- Completely balanced
- Meets or exceeds OEM quality

Clutch slippage and pedal pulsation can be caused by a warped flexplate. Clutch vibration can be caused by loose flexplate bolts, excessive flexplate runout, or an imbalanced flexplate.
When the clutch cover and disc are removed, inspect the flexplate for scoring, cracks and hot spots. Runout can be checked with a dial indicator.
If symptoms and inspection determine the need for a new flexplate, get the one that's designed and specifically manufactured for your Jeep. It's balanced to prevent vibration, and made to fit and function the same or better than original equipment, so you can be assured that installation will go smoothly and operation will be flawless. The flexplate is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
