Flexplate install question.
Flexplate install question.
Its been months since I took my engine out and I can't remeber which way the flexplate goes on... It has buldges that the screws for the torque converter go through. Does the converter mount to the high side of the buldges? That is the way I have it and it looks right but just want to make sure before I get it back in.....

The bulges face the torque converter, and you should also notice a ridge around the center hole which also faces the converter. It's actually pretty hard to put it on backwards and still manage to put the bolts in.

What a sore subject with me... I just R&R'ed mine - for nothing. Anyways, there's a chunk of metal one one side - don't know what the hell it's called, nor do I care, but that faces the engine anyways. Also, if you look real good, it SHOULD also be stamped as engine side, too...
