And I've got a "Billy question" here, since this "issue" involved the starter ring gear and not the actual flexplate itself, are Mopars going to have to have SFI approved torque converters?
I wish I brought this up yesterday while we were talking with the Ford guys, what're their thoughts since they have a GM style flex plate.
