I have an 88 supra comp, and I have been reading some posts on here about flex plates, or damper plates. People are talking about a ticking noise they hear from that area. They claim broken springs are to blame. I have that same noise and am looking into replacing mine. Was just looking for a general rundown of what to do. I'm an industrial mechanic for a living, and if it's taught me anything it's to go into a job with all the info you can get. Also if anyone has a manual for my transmission, that would be great.I think it's a velvet 1 to 1. Also looking for a source for the plate. If you have a manual could you email it to me. My email is my user name at hotmail. Thanks for the help
