To destroy a flex plate in an automatic Subaru Legacy, excessive stress can be applied through a few methods, such as revving the engine while in gear without the brakes engaged or performing hard launches. Additionally, improper installation or using a mismatched torque converter can lead to misalignment, causing the flex plate to crack or break under normal operation. Overheating the engine or transmission due to inadequate cooling can also weaken the flex plate. However, deliberately damaging vehicle components is not advisable and can lead to costly repairs.
You have to pull the engine or transmission. The Flex plate is at the back of the engine on an automatic transmission. 6-8 bolts hold the plate to the engine, and four bolts hold the plate to the tranny.
