GT Turbo 2.5 2005 needs 2nd Flex Plate in 2 years


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Clarify....you state Flexplate and Flywheel in the first post.....Flexplate = Automatic - 5EAT; Flywheel (FW)  = 5-speed manual....they both connect to the crankshaft.

 

Breaking a FW would be tough, so thinking you mean pressure plate, disk or?

 

Flexplate's do break on occasion.

 

How much boost/HP/Torque are you putting down? If stock, shouldn't break; 350+ just might?

 A little Googlin' found THIS.....basically the 4 TC bolts (4 on the 5EAT's?) weren't torqued properly....but getting a torque wrench on those is near impossible.

 

If you installed the 2nd one (that cracked) maybe an install issue (no offense)? If a NON-Subaru shop did it then, I'd find a real SUBIE shop.

 

GL,

Td
