Cracked Flex Plate?

arkredneck 06-07-2011 09:03 PM

I didn't check that but will sounds like a rattle and clunk and grind all together but still goes away

DIYMechanic 06-08-2011 05:56 AM

Yeah, check the flex plate real good. You may have a cracked one. They can make some really strange noises when they are on their way out and you DON'T want to let it go until it comes apart.

Well I can't seer nothing wrong with flex plate so I took the dp off still has a noise so I guess I'm gone pull the trans and see if my noise Is motor or trans I'm gonna be mad once I do it and find that it's something stupid simple

DIYMechanic 06-08-2011 08:38 PM

Does the truck make this noise in all gears? Reverse, Neutral, etc?

arkredneck 06-09-2011 07:43 AM

Yes and park just idling it will go away when the engine has a load
