Hey guys,
Quick question... What's the metal plate between the engine and the gearbox called or where can I find one to order? I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for as this is a requirement from the mechanic (and all that explanation was in Greek - I don't really speak greek :) )
I hope my request makes sense :fingerscrossed:
Automatic = FLEX PLATE - bolts to the crank shaft and to the torque convertor
Manual = FLY WHEEL - bolts to the crank shaft a clutch assembly
Could also be thinking of the lower dust shield that isolates both the flexplate in automatics and the flywheel in manuals, from road debris.
Example of a GM version:

Really need very concise instructions from your mechanic about what exactly he needs.
Well, got this as an example. I guess is some sort of adaptor between the 2? Is a 328 and A904 combo. Don't know if this is actually needed or not
If you got the correct A904 transmission, it should bolt right up to the back of your 318 no problem WITHOUT any adaptor.
I am leaning the way HP2 is... small block/auto tranny inspection cover/dust shield... like this...

Yes, there is only one type of 904 transmission...and it bolts directly to the back of the engine with no plates.
Definitely will need pictures from your mechanic.

Is there a 904 that ever went behind a big block or slant 6 ? Wouldn't they have different bolt patterns then a small block 318/904 ? This could be where the confusion is coming from ?

no big block 904s unless it's a one off thing that some race team developed or something crazy like that.
Could be a slant 6 904 though
Hopefully it is a Mopar 904 . AMC used 904's and they had a block saver plate
