Flexplate Questions
I have a 1985 F-250 4x4 w/c6 automatic. The flexplate has a bad spot in it. So I was going to replace. Well I found out that Ford had discontinued them several years back
. They told me there where not enought in the country to produce for anymore. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can get one. I have searched high in low in about every spot I can think of and I am getting very desperate.

Did your dealer give you this ring gear info? Prolly not!
PINHEADS!!Usually...only the ring gear goes bad, so...I can kinda see why Ford killed off the 6.9L's A/T flywheel.
Take the flywheel to a autoparts store's machine shop, they can cut the old ring gear off, "sweat" the new ring gear on.
This is SOP = Standard Operating Procedure for replacing ring gears.

If the teeth are stripped on your flywheel (flexplate) just replace the ring gear.
I could only find one new A/T flywheel (flexplate) for a 6.9.
I can just imagine what the dealer wants for it...since it's obsolete...and no one else (Ford dealers or obsolete parts vendors) has any.
btw: Ford has never used the term flexplate. It's flywheel regardless of what the transmission is.
