On engines with an automatic transmission, the torque convertor usually is
a donut-shaped item, curving away from the flexplate towards the perimeter.
 You can mount your toothed wheel in between the two, putting the converter
bolts through everthing, and bend the teeth away from the flexplate,
towards the transmission/transaxle  We did that on one vehicle my friends
and I were trying to attach electronics to.
