    This is what you get when a dingbat is working and looking at something it's been a half an hour digging a screwdriver into three holes rather than showing the inside of the transmission bell housing and I'm doing the five or six 12 mm bolts and letting the plate fall off trying to see what's been slinging around in there and getting shredded it should be some silver or something somewhere that shows what helped to grind up the metal or aluminum should be in the bell housing edges or something and what's behind that plate when you dump it out.? I'm assuming this is what happens when you keep driving with the rattle going on into Oblivion you're not smart enough to turn the car off or what have you your mind won't allow it or something like that even our 2013 Prius persona which rattled itself until it threw a rod the torque plate sitting in the yard and perfect condition and I have the one off to JDM motor in the same condition sitting next to it and that engine threw a rod through the side of the block and was completely ruined everything else in the engine was in beautiful condition by looking at it camshafts everything else that rotated didn't even look like they had 190,000 miles on them.
