I believe the price was $30 or $35 about a year ago. Plus shipping of course.
To be re-certed by JW.
You can contact them @ 321-632-6205

They say they don't re-cert very many.
Because if they replace the starter ring gear and re-cert.,the price is very close to a new flexplate.

Maybe this helps.

JW does NOT re-certify flexplates any more. Cost prohibitive. They quit doing
it in 2002, I believe.

I had a expired JW on my motor for 3 years. No one ever looked at it. If the motor is in the car , thats a lot of work for something no one checks.

RegalX2, Jim ;

Sorry , I was slightly mistaken about the price.
Here is a link to a post in Oct. 2006:

Anyway, as most will tell you.
If you just have an SFI flexplate, most tech will not check the actual cert date.
NOT to say that someday , it might be checked !

Or , if it is just for your on satisfaction. But as you can see, it is as cheap to buy a new one as to have one re-certed.

Good Luck!
