You can say that again. I had a 90 Dodge Daytona with a 2.5 turbo,
and I sheared the flexplate right at the bolt holes not once, but
twice. After I installed the second flex plate, I decided I should
sell the car, cause I didn't want to put a third in. On the bright
side, it spun a rod bearing shortly therafter, so I didn't have to
worry about the flexplate breaking again.
