Can not find correct flexplate
I've got a 92 xj 4.0/ auto. I've ordered 4 different flexplates with this # 53006324 on otherside is # 51630. Everyone that I get the crank holes are off. No shows a different one, even dealer says they have discontinued them. I don't know where to go from here.
thanks

I think I have one from my old 92 that I stroked to a 96 a million years ago...Its up in the attic may take me a couple of days to get up there . Will send you some pictures when I get it. Where are you located

This may be a stupid question, but I'll ask.
Did you know the bolt holes on the flex plate only line up one way? There's no centering dowel pin either, so it's a matter of holding it up to the crankshaft and spinning it around until all the holes line up.

dug out my flexplate one set of numbers read 52118551 other side reads 51630 I as in eye... problem is that i cannot confirm if its off my 92 ...I think back now I reused the 92 flexplate into the stroker because the electronics were a 92 and this flexplate might have been off the donor 96...Rock Auto lists my flexplate as a 96...BUT...it also lists the same flexplate as a 92 ..52117761 as valid for a 96 and a 92...sorry for not being much help...might go to the dealer and try to confirm correct part number...as agreen says...the bolt holes are not symetrical and you have to spin the plate on the crank until they line up...Im using a 72... 4.2 stroker crank and the crank bolts align into the 92 and 96 and 2001 flexplate...the only difference might be the square timing cutouts

Hey I was cleaning out the deep parts of the attic and found another flexplate number on the face is the same...51630I but the backside number is53006324... if you still need a flexplate I will find shipping to you...unless you figured out your issues...I have way too many old parts clogging up the attic...lol
