I would start by doing a detailed comparison of the rear of both engines. does the crank stick out different???? pics please.

a flywheel, actually it's called a "flex plate" on autos, that started on your 99 tranny and is still attached to your 99 tranny should still fit.

make certain the torque converter is fully engaged into the tranny.
