WTB.. Buick 215 flexplate

hoffbug · December 19, 2008, 06:10:19 PM

I know most of you guys are running a manual transmission so I hope someone might have an extra Buick 215 flexplate lying around.. It cannot be an Olds flexplate.. it has to be the Buick one that looks like this.

Would a Rover 3500 flexplate work for you? I'm sure I have one of those.

Ooops......I sold it with the BW auto tranny.

Holy cow, I tossed two of those in the scrap bin just last month. I thought nobody would ever want them.

Oh yeah, I still have an Olds auto trans "flexplate" which is really a flywheel. Anyone want it? It came off of a Jetfire.

That a bummer about the flexplates Dave.. I always seem to "just" miss out when people have stuff..

The Olds flexplates are quite a but different from the Buick ones..It wont work for my application.

Put it up on craigslist or Evilbay before I tossing it..They dont make this stuff anymore.

Thanks Jim...

Sorry Tony, it turns out that's not it. Best I can do is a ring gear.

Happy Holidays

I thought I had one, but can't seem to find it.

hoffbug · December 28, 2008, 01:09:55 PM

Thanks for looking Carl.. Turns out these are not so easy to find.

Question....Can the Buick flexplate be used on an Olds 215? Balance wise are the Olds and Buick 215 crank and rotating assemblies the same?
I would be running an adapter setup with a GM 200 R4
