Anyone have issues with their flex plate (flywheel) breaking? Pics attached
Broken at the bolts.
My vehicle is a 2006 LX470 with 160k
Runs strong and no leaks. Timing and pumped and seals have been changed.
I don't even wheel it. Mostly highway miles. Still building it for some overland trips.
Back in June 2017 it broke while driving.. meaning motor was still running when it broke. Rpm revved when I applied throttle. It was not engaging. Vehicle coasted to a stop on the highway.
Put in park and then back in drive and reverse I get nothing. Turned off and tried to restart and the motor does not turn but I can hear the starter turning.
Had it replace with oem flex plate and torque converter while we were in there. Made sure the pins were aligned and torqued per oem manual.
Keep in mind I have the five spoke stealthcustomseries wheels 16" with 285 tires (nitro trail grapplers)33"
So I get my car back and it breaks again in July 2017.
Driving the family home and it breaks Again!. I was cruising at 50-60mph when it did the same thing again. (Rpm revving and not engaging)
So now it's in the shop to make sure everything was installed properly.
Anyone have the same issues or any suggestions? Searched everywhere and there's not much on it besides make sure the bolts are torque right and pins are aligned correctly..
Is it possible I have the wrong torque converter or flex plate?
I'm lost here guys. Really love the truck and don't want to sell it.
