The thought of upgrading has been eating at me since I broke the plate . I would definatley fork out the cash for a new one if I positivley thought it was the right thing to do. I have a complete d. t. t. kit coming But they are the ones that suggested that I have biggger problems that caused the failure, most likely the adapter plate is out of alignment. Seeing as the flex plate is the cheapest and simplist part to change I think I might stay stock for now. If anyone has a good reason to upgrade to a billet one please let me know I have about 24 hrs to change my mind. B. T. W. Chrysler Canada says this is one of the only failures they have seen on third gens.
