You need the metal plate that goes between the flywheel and engine block. The flywheel has the starter ring gear on it.

The flywheel replaces the flexplate. You can't physically bolt both a flexplate and flywheel to the end of the crankshaft.

Metal plate (engine block plate) from a manual, not the auto.
