Welcome! The bellhousing should have an inspection plate on the bottom for you to remove and get a look at the teeth on the flexplate (your automatic has a flexplate, not a flywheel) Check to see if the flexplate is cracked. Either way, bad teeth or crack- it still needs replaced.You pull the transmission to replace it. The flexplate bolts to the torque converter.
