Some of the flex plates out there are only SFI 29.1 approved.

BD's are 29.3 approved (High HP Diesel class) as well as a few others... is yours?

Thats the problem, most people do not consider it!

The stock flex plate definitely becomes the week link once you have a good transmission installed. For what its worth, compared to the cost of the transmission, it is highly recommended to upgrade it!
