So back when I installed the new flexplate, I thought it was needed as the starter liked to skip some teeth every few start ups. So I figured the old flex plate was warped enough to cause this. With the new flexplate installed it still happens. So after some digging on the web a bunch of topics came up about the little support bracket that connects the front end of the started to the engine block can cause this. I looked at mine at lunch and sure enough mine is there but there is no nut holding it to the starter post and the bolt connecting to the block is very loose. Do any of you guys have and experience with this?
