Flexplate help

I just had my Carb rebuilt and when the guy was testing it he discovered the flexplate was broken like a jig saw puzzle piece so it was still in one piece. so my question is should I replace that ASAP or not because the car still drives fine and it does not seem to affect the car in any way. Thanks

Re: Flexplate help

Since he will need to replace it, who out there makes a lightweight version? I think B&M used to but heard bad things about theirs.
