Here is another video, don't know if it'll help much but what you hear isn't the motor that's whatever is fubar'd tried to get closer to the motor so you guys could hear the difference. Going to start pulling the motor tonight after work.

good to know, busted flexplate is the best case scenario for me.

Amazing how much faster this bad boy comes out now after you've been through it once. Only and hour in and I basically just have to get the ranch hand and grill out of the way, tc bolts and the motor mounts.

Let me know if you need a flexplate if you can't find one locally.

Made a ton of progress tonight, still only 2 hours of work total. Motor will be out Friday morning since im off, 99% sure its flexplate, when undoing the tc bolts I had metal shavings falling out between them. Wiggled flexplate and I could hear it cracking as i wiggled it.

yeah i would say so too! had a couple do that same thing from around here... they all thought for sure that the tc went out and ordered new ones... nope, cracked or broke flywheels..

I'm just ready to be done dealing with fixing it. I would like to spend my money on more go fast stuff rather than just fixing the stuff that breaks haha

Motor is all ready to come out in the morning, looking more and more like the flexplate is trash. I really appreciate all the help I've got from ghohouston(taylor), oscs(mike), cledusp(colton), arisley(andy) through the whole motor swap process and marty for helping me out with all the issues, and for putting up with all my texts/pms sbout the issues and soon to be setups. Hopefully in the next week this thing will be back running and killing sports cars again.
