I haven't gotten all the way to it bt I haven't seen any missing yet bt my starter is just spinning and I just put a new one on it that's when I seen the groove

What groove?

The “missing teeth” looks like a shadow? Hard to tell if teeth are actually missing? If those teeth are broken (looks like it) then yes you need a new flexplate

This truck is automatic? That looks like a flex plate not a flywheel

Flexplate = auto
Flywheel = manual

On my laptop it looks like there are 4 teeth that have been severely damaged. I think the groove he is talking about is the parting surface between the ring gear and the converter.

You do not resurface a flex plate. You replace it if it has damage.

The starter is just spinning and I have already replaced it and I just look at the flexplate and the teeth are fine

Bizzyben,

this is what we all see as missing teeth. Maybe it’s the shadow making it look that way but we‘re having trouble believing it. You’re the only one who can have actual eyeballs on it. Are those four teeth just stumps or are they full undamaged teeth, same as the others on the right? Thanks for clarifying.
