NOTE: ATS Billet Flex Plate installation instructions operate under the assumption that the transmission has been removed.
Please read all instructions before attempting installation.
SFI approved billet flexplates from ATS will hold up under the most extreme
conditions. ATS billet flexplates are SFI approved, meaning that they stand up
to the toughest race application standards. These are crafted out of strong
billet steel allowing your transmission to shift
faster and harder with out running the risk of breaking the flexplate.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the ten bolts securing the factory flex plate to the crankshaft.
2. Install the ATS Billet Flexplate using the 10-factory bolts. Make sure to place the flex plate over the alignment pin on the crankshaft. If the pin is missing, it must be replaced with a new pin from a Ford dealer. The pin ensures correct alignment of the counterbalance on the flex plate to prevent bearing failure.
3. Torque (10) crankshaft bolts to 86 ft-lbs in the numbered sequence as shown on the following page. (See Fig 1).

6. If using a factory torque converter with 6 threaded studs, only 6 of the 12 holes are needed (as with 94-03). (See Fig. 1, use torque sequence 1-7-3-9-5-11). Torque the nuts to 26 ft-lbs.
7. If using an ATS TripleLok Torque Converter, torque the bolts to 35 ft- lbs using a 1-7-3-9-6-11 sequence.
8. If using an ATS 5-Star Torque Converter, torque the bolts to 35 ft- lbsusing the bolt sequence (1 thru 12) shown in Fig. 1.
9. Re-torque each bolt the correct ft-lb as noted above in steps 6 thru 9 using the specified sequence.
