Pioneer Automotive Industries Automatic Transmission Flexplate P/N:FRA-492
Pioneer Automotive Industries FRA-439 automatic transmission flexplate for the 1996-2005 Ford Taurus and other vehicles connects the engine crankshaft to the torque converter. It is designed to restore OEM levels of performance, and the starter turns its ring gear to crank the engine.
Cracks around the bolt holes, worn ring-gear teeth, a grinding noise at start-up or vibration can mean a damaged flexplate. A weak starter, a worn torque converter or loose engine mounts can be behind similar signs, so find the cause before buying.
It fits the 1996-2005 Ford Taurus and the 1996-2005 Mercury Sable. This listing is one flexplate, and the 1996-2005 Ford Taurus takes one.
