Were you asking about a plate? If so, then your answer is no, there is no plate between the engine and the transmission.

well yea there is, the flexplate is between the converter and crank hub.

I meant plate. And yes between the trans and motor. This is my first mopar experience , I've always messed with fords and chevys and there has always been a spacer plate between motor and trans David

Bellhousing? Pressure plate?????????????

 

[66aCUDA]

Engine bolts to transmission bell housing. Inside bell housing is flex plate and converter (if auto) or flywheel, pressure plate/clutch assy. (manual).
Hope this helps,

Maybe you're thinking about the inspections plate or cover on the bottom or forward end of the auto transmission.

The only difference between Chovy and Mopar is that Chivy uses a flex plate that has the starter gear on it, so it's round

Mopar uses a flex plate that is "4 pronged" and the starter gear is on the converter

But the factory Mopar plates suck and are weak with any applied torque worth a snot. even with a hot slant, you are likely to break one. I would look at the offerings from B&M. If you get one from them, you will bolt it on and NOT have to worry about again.

There is a dust cover as well... Just noticed Kevin Johnson already said that

It's the weight of the 'fro cuttin down on your brain waves man. You need to trim that ****.

its got an automatic. I have the bottom piece that covers the torque converter. But im talking about where the trans and block meet. Normally i just call it a spacer plate. Heres a ford one for an example http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NICE...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35ad8c5311

No spacer plates on Mopars.

Mopar machines their stuff right !!

The slant 6 does have a small thin plate between the block & bell for the starter.

Hi David,

Here are links to the two images. One shows the starter shim and the other the dust cover for the tranny.
