Paul; those of us who did automatic transmission work back in the olden days called the starter ring gear mounting plate, which the torque convertor bolted to in an automatic transmission bearing car, a flex plate because it was thin enough to flex if you pried on it, if for no other reason. That was all it really was, a much lighter starter ring gear. Some of us went to using it for racing engines with direct splined in/out drive because it was much much lighter than other "lightened" flywheels, pressure plates and clutch discs. I don't have any idea of how your ross works. I have seen some prsus that use different methods of driving different planetary gear arrangements coupled with different starter ring gear devices. I guess you need to look at yours and think about it a little more. Go down to the local transmission shop and ask to see these things where you will recognize them, whether from a rotary or not. Perhaps someone here, out there in list serve world, has the same thing and enough photos to show you what all you are wondering about. That way, we can all learn something, too.

Thanks, Bob....Do you know if the Ross PSRU used the flexplate? Thanks. Paul
