ATP Automatic Transmission Flexplate P/N:Z-128
Keep your engine and automatic transmission linked with the ATP Automatic Transmission Flexplate Z-126, a steel flex plate that joins the two and carries the ring gear teeth your starter engages. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1964-1973 Ford Mustang, the 1965-1969 Ford Country Sedan and the 1975-1976 Ford Granada. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Every vehicle with an automatic transmission uses a flex plate to connect the engine and transmission. It has bolt holes for the torque converter and teeth for the starter. Its job is to allow for torque converter expansion as engine RPM increases. Over time, that constant expansion and contraction can lead to cracks or shearing, and a damaged flex plate can cause serious, expensive damage. A broken flex plate cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
ATP designed the Z-126 with long life and durability in mind. The listed applications use one flex plate. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners, whether they may be reused, and the torque procedure. Country of origin: Mexico.
