There was a massive metal rattling in my motor (‘73 with 383 Stroker) that I ignored for a couple days. Went to move the car and had a complete power loss followed by what sounded like a packed stadium of nuts and bolts at a rave. Finally had more than one neutral position on the stick.

Thought I had blown the tranny (pause) or at least shattered the torque converter or cracked the flex plate. Opened the dust cover and found all three nuts and two bolts that mount the tc to the flex plate. 15$ and 30 mins later we were so back as opposed to over 500$ and hours of work dropping the transmission.
