Hi all,
New to the forum world and was wondering if anyone has had to replace their 2.5L flex plate before? This all started when one day the Jeep had rough sporadic starts. I've previously dealt with a bad PCM so I thought nothing of a rough start - and considering its a jeep, it didn't concern me as much. Since then the starting has become a real issue - rough starts almost every morning and I am pretty sure that my ring gear is becoming warn on the starter mating side (see attached picture - I have included a picture of the starter as well for reference). My main questions are: What is involved in this repair? Are there any additional things (rear main seal, throw-out bearing, etc...) I should be replacing since I will be in there? Any tips or recommendations on transmission maintenance since it will be out of the jeep?
Thanks in advance for your help.
