here's the problem
the flexplate splitted in 2 

15 hours of intense work later the car is back on the road
we replace the old 2.0 flexplate, torque converter and starter for the beefier and stronger ones of the Pt Cruiser Turbo
my car now has the full conversion to Pt Cruiser Turbo ATX transmission

Glad you got it back together.  We all missed ya'll.  See you in the spring!

I haven't seen and heard of him in more than a year
last time I saw him at the local car spot he was about to go live with his girlfriend and she's the kind of girl to take a guy by the balls and squezed until he always do what she want 

not major but still a major headache to put back the transmission I was always fighting for 1/4 inch extra because the 2.4 can't lean as much as the 2.0 the engine hit the frame sooner, the torque converter of the pt turbo tranny is also larger
it took about 2:30-3:00 to get the tranny from the floor up to the engine
