Same with mine. I don't recall did you mention changing the starter as well? When I was searching for a flexplate at advance Auto website they actually sell just the cog for the starter as opposed to replacing the entire starter. Have yet to inspect mine to see if that needs to be changed out, the guy at the auto parts store said it's probably not in bad shape despite the flexplate being bad because it's a bigger bulkier piece of metal. We'll see.
