craiger123 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Anybody have ideas on why. Is there anything I need to replace besides the flex plate? It's just stock build. Edited August 10, 2016 by craiger123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmdew Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 This is it. What is the failure mode of the flex plate? At the outer rim bolts or at the center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) 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? TD Edited August 11, 2016 by wtdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiger123 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Sorry, stock build. It's the flex plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 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.

craiger123 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks wtdash. I didn't install it but it wasn't a Subaru shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
