Be aware the automatic isn't immune to breaking starter noses.
The welds on the ring gear/ torque converter break, causing the ring gear to
cock and put breaking force on the starter.

Very typical of a loose rivet flywheel.
Do not just replace the pressure plate without removing the flywheel and
testing for the loose rivet problem.
Dave Motohead on Corvair Center Forum has a video on testing flywheels.
