The Drive plate bolts to the flywheel. Splines in the center of the plate mate with matching splines on the transmission's input shaft. If your flywheel doesn't have any threaded holes to mount the drive plate, a machine shop can drill and tap to suit. You can also swap it out and replace it with a stick-shift (manual transmission) flywheel.

The Prop Shaft Flange bolts up to your transmission's output shaft.
