I had the clutch disc in one of my old car haulers(1955 Dodge D500) spin the clutch disc hub out of that clutch disc like your describing on the way to the old Orange County CA track years ago. Did I say I hate Murphy Why do we racers have all the bad luck

The flexplate on my Cummins broke and was almost to the point of leaving me stranded as it broke the center completely out of the plate and was rattling like crazy! Fortunately it was in town when it happened! Only has 436,000 miles on it!

Congratulations on the win Doug! The flexplate on my Cummins broke and was almost to the point of leaving me stranded as it broke the center completely out of the plate and was rattling like crazy! Fortunately it was in town when it happened! Only has 436,000 miles on it! My converter bolts ripped out of my flexplate, leaving me stranded 5 hours from home... Installed a new billet converter, and Billet SFI flexplate. 2 years later the billet flexplate broke (just after warantee), leaving me stranded 2 hours from home...
