Cracked Flex Plate and motor half off the front of trans
I was cruising around 65 on the road then all the sudden a ton of white smoke came out of the hood like it was blinding me and the floorboards got super hot and tranny fluid and oil was leaking so bad it was covering my rear axle when I looked under it parked. I checked the coolant and its good and I saw a huge crack and hole/chip in my flex plate and you can stick your pinky finger through it. I checked the transmission dipstick for ****s and goggles and the fluid smells extremely burnt and trashed and brown. But whats weird is compression didn't really exist when it all happened with 30 seconds. I would bring it up to 3000 RPM and it did nothing but in my driveway it accelerates normally and the back of the motor and oil pan arent flush with the trans like the right side of the oil pan and block are separated by a centimeter and ther left side is still flush. It made a rattling noise when warming up in park and when I started moving it would go away or when it warmed up. I can see the rear main seal in the oil pan connected. and the bottom of the flex plate is bent pretty good. If anyone has any idea on what can be bent or broke. Im not in a hurry to get it on the road I plan on rebuilding the motor and tearing everything apart anyways.
