h. Flexplate Bolt Hole Flatness. Flexplate flatness in the area of the bolt holes
is not a measurement required for the 3000 and 4000 Product Families
transmissions.
i. Torque Converter Axial Location. Using a depth gauge, measure from the
face of the torque converter housing to the torque converter flexplate adapter
mounting face. The torque converter axial location should measure:
• 3000 Product Family—49.36–50.38 mm (1.943–1.983 inches).
• 4000 Product Family—45.54 mm (1.793 inches).
5–2. CHECKING FLEXPLATE DRIVE ASSEMBLY
a. Flexplate Inspection. Inspect the flexplate for cracks, distortion, or elongated
bolt holes. Replace a worn or damaged flexplate.
b. Engine Crankshaft End Play. Be sure engine crankshaft end play is within
the engine manufacturer’s specifications.
NOTE: When assembling the flexplate to the crankshaft hub or hub
adapter, be sure the outer flexplate bolt holes are aligned.
