Hi everyone. I have a 2014 3.6 journey and recently had a flex plate fail. We are in South Africa and parts are really expensive. My question now is can we get away with just replacing the flex plate or would we have to replace the Torque converter as well? This car has been an absolute dream and I love it to bits. We are on 320 000 kilometers and this is the first "major" issue we have had. Because parts and labour are so expensive here I want to make sure we do this right the first time to avoid having to pull the gearbox twice. Any advise would be very much appreciated.

Hi All, we have just discovered the flex plate is what has been making a heck of a noise on my Dodge Journey 3.6 R/T 2014 model. My question now is, do we need to change the Torque converter as well when doing the flex plate? I am in South Africa and parts are extremely expensive let alone e labour to remove the transmission. With such major repairs, I do not want to skimp on costs, but also need to understand if we are looking at more than just replacing the flex plate.your advise will be appreciated.
