I thought it was a manual trans. but i was mistaken, it is an auto. Started looking around the web and found some youtube vids of vehicles with broken flexplates and thats exactly what this thing sounds like. Only problem is, I can't find one for sale anywhere. None of the popular parts houses or online parts distributors carry it. Not sure why??? I have never worked on an auto. trans before, but what I have learned in the last couple of days has me kind of confused. Some describe the flexplate as almost identical to a flywheel, while others say it is more of a stamped steel plate of sorts. Which is it? Where can I buy one? preferrably new, or this going to be a junkyard quest? I just bought the Monty for $200 and would really like to get it fixed.
