Just had my second flex plate replaced. Anyone else?

The first one lasted about 35k miles, and I think I got about 25 out of this one.

Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on here? It's a 99 GTP, pretty much bone stock!

What's a flex plate? I never heard of this. I'm curious.

It mates the transmission to the engine, best I can tell. I guess that in manual transmissions, they call it a flywheel?

Probally did not get the torque converter flush with the flex plate.It is really easy to do,start one of the torque converter bolts,put a the tip of a slotted screwdriver in the space between the flex plate and the torque converter bolt and pry it until it is flush what I mentioned.
