Abstract:
A flexplate for a motor vehicle drivetrain includes a carry plate configured for being connected to an engine crankshaft and a drive plate. The drive plate and the carry plate are separate components attached directly via contact. The drive plate is configured for transferring torque input into the carry plate to a downstream component. A method of constructing a flexplate for a motor vehicle drivetrain includes stamping a carry plate configured for being connected to an engine crankshaft; stamping a drive plate separate from the carry plate; and attaching the drive plate and the carry plate directly together via contact. The drive plate is configured for transferring torque input into the carry plate to a downstream component.
