Are you sure that you got the tranny bolted to the engine with a tight fit everywhere. If they don't get perfectly aligned the flex plate will have to take that movement with every engine revolution.

What did your cracked flexplate sound like? My car is making a tinging/pinging rattling noise when accelerating, and I'm hoping it isn't the flexplate.
