I have a terrible noise, sounds like someone poured a cup of bolts into the engine. The sound kinda goes away when I put it in neutral witch make me think it is in the tranny. I took the inspection cover off the tranny and it had black paint chips on it. I can move the torq and flexplate about a half inch back and forth. Oh and the torq and flexplate are painted black. So I'm thinkin the flexplate bolts either broke or came out, does that seem possible or should I look somewhere else?

 

have heard it happening (bolts breaking).
