153 vs 168 tooth fex plates?
I understand that each of these flex plates is different in diameter, the 168 tooth being the larger. How do you know which one shoud be used in a given application? I presume that it's related to the tranny and torque converter rather than the engine, but there doesn't seem to be any consistency.

When you engage the starter, it makes a horrible, metalic clanking and ringing sound. One of the obvios checks was to see if the correct starter and flex plate were used.
