managed to get my hands on one of the newest revision flexplates. install on saturday...with pictures of course. got lucky with the part too... seems GM is only shipping these on a per claim basis...basically warranty parts only. there just happened to be one at a local dealer... aparently there were only 10 in all of the region.
