Are we dealing with a flywheel or a flexplate here (is this a manual trans or auto trans arrangement)?

Since the OP states "park" and "drive" in his post, I'm pretty sure it's an auto.

Well then there's the problem...a flywheel doesn't belong on an auto.

OP, I'd verify that the old and new flexplates are of the same balance for starters (are they both weighted or not). As goodybrain2001 said, the TC absolutely could be damaged.
