I despise anything with TCI on it.

If you call them seeking help, they'll blame you and your setup.

Looks like there fuse weld with little to no filler rod.

Maybe bolt it up to an old convertor and tack them in place.

Never dealt with TCI customer service but worth a try for what they charge for there stuff.

I will give them a call but I am sure they wont help at all.
I was thinking of tacking them back on, tacking the other 3 aswell and using the 3 that haven't fallen off yet.
I am from Canada and the flex plate is like $366cdn plus all the garbage that comes with getting it shipped out here so it will be around $500 for a new one. Not cheap by any means but if I have to get a new one I will.
