In-Vehicle Repair: Flexplate: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Lincoln MKZ and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    NOTE: One of the 8 flexplate holes are offset so the flexplate can only be installed in one position.
