I don't think that will be a problem. Looks like a pioneer.

Re: Flexplate ?
 

pioneer = chinese junk

Re: Flexplate ?
 

Not a Pioneer, though they do appear similar. It appears well made, with the exception of these areas.

Thanks! -Al

Re: Flexplate ?
 

so who is the manufacturer and if you feel it's well made, why ask?

It looks like any number of gold cadmium plated, poorly manufactured chinese flexplates to me.

If a racer has concerns about a product, it would be a service to the community to provide the product name so we can have a look into it before we go and buy one.

This past winter it was time to buy a new flexplate since mine was out of date,, a TCI. I ordered a new one from Jegs (racer discount), same part # as before, and when it arrived, I noticed the TCI logo on the box was different,, same thing inside on the plate. No big deal I thought,, then upon further review,, I see its from Mexico,, no such markings on the old one. I was running out of time, so I'm using it, but I'd thought I would educate the masses. I guess I could've asked over the phone when ordering, but It never occured to me that I should've. My 2 cents.

Most suppliers are probably buying the flex plates from the same manufacturer and rebranding them. I have a pioneer and it has worked flawlessly. No problem with fit or quality. When is the last time you saw a flex plate for an automatic come apart. I have never seen it happen.
