If it helps, looks like there are at least four large cracks at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock.  See what looks kind of like redish lines that 'feather' outwards towards the ring gear?  Well the lines start at the cracks and move outwards.  I'm guessing the redish lines are rust from metal fragments from the cracks?

Question:  is the replacement flexplate reinforced or a copy of the original?

Hey, it was good for 28 years, I'm not complaining.
