Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My dodge has been running rough lately.
Would shake and make horrible sound in
park sometimes other gears. Well was told it
was the flywheel hitting the starter and I
needed to tighten the bolts. Well I did... Now
it is worse. When I start it rpms go crazy.
Then dies
