Allison 5sp: Cracked flex plate

[1lowdiesel]

Ok so my buddy just called me that's doing my front seal and told me my flex plate is cracked in about 5 places coming from the center out.

I've been driving the truck like this for a while I would assume. I thought about driving it to Indiana like this but Idk.

Anyone have a stock one for cheap? Otherwise I'll put in a billet one and converter.

Thanks

Ok just spoke with him again. Its actually the plate that the converter bolts to, then that bolts to the flex plate. $90 bucks at the dealer.

It's 3 parts back there. Make sure you get 8 new bolts also.

The converter does bolt to the flex plate.

And be prepared to blow a nut out when you make the last angle pull

Thanks henry. For now i'm just gonna get it back together so i can make my trip. Then i'll eventually put a suncoast flexplate in it when i rebuild it.

That's fine to get it back and running but the dealer has them becaround 18 to 20 bucks for all 8 bolts there TTY bolts and could take a chance breaking one there not to be reused.
