Different motor plates (6 gear & stealth)
Ok so I’ve been reading over some real old threads, namely about TQ10’s. I came across the info that the black motor plates on them were only for the 6 gear. Honestly never realized or tried to swap out motor plates between the two transmissions to know better. Without taking anything apart and just inspecting my different cars visually I really don’t see a difference between my early cars and later stealth cars.
Are there really two different design of motor plates ?
I kind of always assumed that AE just designed the stealth trans to bolt up to their existing 6 gear plate.

That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.

Re: Different motor plates (6 gear & stealth)
I'm not aware of any difference.
I have mounted a six gear to the Stealth plate from a 10T, and have both transmissions on JConcepts plates.

Re: Different motor plates (6 gear & stealth)
Motor plates for early cars lack a threaded hole used on the stealth. So if you have a black plate without the stealth hole I would consider that pretty rare

Re: Different motor plates (6 gear & stealth)
Now that you say it, I do remember having to drill/tap a hole in a early plate with swapping to a Stealth.
I've only put a Stealth in one A stamp car, then later swapped back to a six gear. That was a long time ago.

My friend has my TQ10 that we recently acquired, I’ve asked him to take a picture of the motor plate with the spur gear removed to see which ones in it.

Yes that’s the extra one

Looks as though it has the original one. That makes me very happy indeed
