Abstract

See full text

A flexplate assembly for use in translating rotational torque between a starter motor, an engine, and a transmission is provided. The flexplate assembly includes a drive assembly and a ring assembly. The drive assembly is operatively attached to the engine and the transmission and is used to translate rotational torque therebetween. The ring assembly includes a helical ring gear permanently engaging the starter motor. The ring assembly is in freewheel rotational communication with the drive assembly such that the ring assembly couples to and rotates with the drive assembly in response to rotational torque generated by the starter motor, and wherein the drive assembly disengages from the ring assembly in response to rotational torque generated by the engine.
