Any compatible flexplate for neon srt4 ?

[carlosraf20]

I been having problems with my flexplate it cant take the abuse(I replace it twice),and I been looking to buy a aftermarket one stronger, but I don't think any body makes one for the srt. I know is better to convert to a non modular clutch with a flywheel, is just that I don't feel spending another 650 in a clutch setup. I have a spec stage3 modular btw. I was wandering if there is any compatible flexpalte from a older dodge turbo car that will fit the srt, that way can buy a better one for that vehicle and used it in the srt.

There is no flexplate that I know of that will be better to use.

What's the main problem you've been running into, anyway? If I had to guess, I would assume the bolt holes are becoming oblong shaped in the flexplate? If that's the case, the root cause of the problem lies within the flex that occurs during high rpm clutch disengagements. The flywheel portion of the modular clutch assembly smacks into the crankshaft bolts, and the shock from that knocks the crank bolts loose. Soon, there are enough bolts loose enough to allow the flexplate to rattle around on the crank journal, causing the oblong shaped bolt holes.

I've had this happen to me twice as well. The only "real" solution to this is to go non-modular. You won't have to pay 650 for a non-modular setup. Just buy a Fidanza flywheel (usually around $350), and you should be good to go. I did this with my clutchmasters S4 clutch, as well as the Mopar performance pressure plate, CM 6-puck combo I used to run. It works just fine, and also reduces rotational mass.

yeah I just got my self a ACT 6punk non modular clutch with a flywheel, is funny how this problem has been going on for some time with the neon and srt-4 owerns and not a sigle company make a stronger flexplate.
