The "Flywheel" is actually called a flexplate and it serves to not only transmit torque but to allow the converter to balloon as it is pressurized. This ballooning moves the converter impeller hub into the transmission and also forward towards the engine. The engine crankshaft has a thrust bearing to absorb fore-aft movement of the converter ballooning. The transmission has a pump with two drive flats in the pump gear and the conveter impeller hub has the mating flats which drive the pump.

Replace the flexplate and be sure to use the spacer/washer that the bolts pass through. The flexplate and spacer are indexed to the crankshaft by an offset hole in the bolt circle. Make sure you have the correct replacement flywheel as it has counterbalance weights specifically for your application.

Also replace the front seal on the transmission and either replace the converter or polish the impeller hub so it will not leak at that front seal area.
