Chevy Impala Automatic Transmission Flexplates

A flexplate is a component of automatic gearboxes that looks like a thinner equivalent to a manual transmission’s flywheel. Installed between the engine and torque converter, the flexplate also has a toothed rim, which is used by the starter motor for cranking the engine. However, other functions of the flexplate are different. Its principal duty is to bend while keeping up with the torque converter’s motion. Given the fact that the flexplate doesn’t need to store rotational energy like the flywheel, it generally features a thinner and lighter structure.

The reasons why the flexplate of your Chevy Impala may need replacement are connected with mechanical wear and failure of the parts it interacts with. For instance, a worn-out toothed rim leads to problems with starting the engine. Anyway, regardless of the reasons making your car’s flexplate damaged, you shouldn’t hesitate with the replacement, as the failure of this component is fraught with very serious and expensive damages.
