I just finished putting the new one in, it's way better! But still makes a little noise. Do those chipped teeth make a difference? I know missing teeth would cause noise but what about little chunks missing?? Or is it just the new flexplate breaking in. (Mechanic told me he sees a lot of flexplates make noise when they are new due to the teeth being sharp).

And the crowd cheers! Well done. I wouldn't worry about the teeth myself. Yea, Idk. The thought did cross my mind that the new might quiet down with use. Makes sence.
