Someone who can help me, I changed the tooth ring and the gear and it still sounds like it's scraping metal on metal.

Sounds like you're missing the metal plate what goes between engine and transaxle

Or if you have it, it might be wrong one, there's different ones for 7bolt engines, I think it's called spacer plate, also make sure that pilot bearing is greased properly and inspection plate is not bent

Starter Plate, is it installed between the trans and the motor? Proper spacers for the torque converter (the shim spacers on the back of the crank) installed?

Do you have a photo of the plate?
