I need some advice. I was driving home and all the sudden I lost power to my transmission after that I heard a loud metal to metal bang and my motor shut off. Well I got it towed home and I try to crank it and in the process of that I heard a knocking noise coming from in between the motor and transmission. Could it be my flexplate. I have a 2000 ford ranger v6 3.0 with a 4r44e transmission 2 wheel drive.
