I had the transmission of my daughters 83 Spirit (258,
auto) rebuilt in Aug 05.  In Jul 06 it had to be
rebuilt again (under warranty).  It failed again a
week ago with less than 7K since the initial rebuild.

Hmmm! Sounds like the same outfit that did the 
transmission on my Town and Country

THe tranny guy is trying to blame it on a bad flexpate

The 232 and 258 AMC I-6 are internally balanced, flex 
plates can be swapped back and forth like spark plugs. 
I do not know how many AMC i-6's are internally balanced 
but I am under the impression they all are. 
 
The only verified bad flex plate I ever had on an automobile
I purchased the car with it and sold it many years later
with the flex plate still in it. It had radial cracks running
out from the center hub.  Of course it was a Cheby.
