If the flexplate is broken/cracked, then no. The Starter's gears are connected to a gear on the Torque Converter and the flexplate is bolted to the Torque converter which is then bolted to the bellhousing of the engine. So basically, starter turns the TC which also turns the flexplate which then turns and starts the motor.
