Can a flywheel be 2 piece can the outer piece stay bolted to the torque converter and the center piece stay bolted to the crank?

I have never seen or heard of any 2 piece automatic flywheel (AKA, flex-plate). Your flex-plate must be broken in two. That I have seen before. Note, the flywheel on an automatic transmission is the torque converter.

How is the fly wheel placed in a standard transmission vehicle and an automatic vehicle?
For both manual and automatic transmission equipped vehicles, the flywheel is actually attached to the rear of the engine crankshaft, not to the transmission itself. But cars that have automatic transmissions originally can have flywheels that are not compatable with manual transmissions. That is because with an auto trans the torque converter is bolted onto the flywheel, and there is no need for a central hole and bearing or bushing in the exact center of the flywheel. On the other hand, with a manual transmissioned car there is a pressure plate bolted to the flywheel, and a clutch plate is sandwiched between the pressure plate and the flywheel. There is also a shaft from the transmission thru the bell housing, through the center of the pressure plate, attached with a toothed surface to the clutch plate, and then the extreme forward point of this shaft goes into a hole in the center of a flywheel, and is held in place by a pilot bushing or pilot bearing that has been pressed into the center hole of the flywheel. So if you take out an automatic transmission and torque converter, you might not be able to bolt in a manual transmission because there might not be a central hole in the original flywheel to hold the pilot bearing/bushing and the tip of the pilot shaft....You may need to also change the flywheel.
