I just acquired a 1992 Explorer 4X4 for $250.00 It had a bad Flex Plate made every thing vibrate badly. I replaced the Flex Plate it was ripped in three places.
Every thing was working great. The engine was running smoothly started just fine. A week after replacing the Flex Plate it broke again. It completely sheared off of the drive shaft.
Has any body had this happen. It was only a week. I am getting ready to replace it again. I did not replace the spacer when I did the work before. Should I replace it.
This should be a mater of just installing a new flex plate.
What would case it to break so soon. I was not driving it very fast or very hard.
