    so i've been hearing a loud tapping/ticking noise while i rev my engine or accelerate. i take the inspection cover off and sure enough, my flexplate is cracked. is there anywhere i can buy one? and when i'm changing it is there anything i should do while the tranny is out?

    Nope. Looked it up, and they don't carry it.

    Have you tried ebay?

    They should be available through NAPA or most of the auto parts houses.

    no vibration, but a very loud tapping sound which is progressively getting worse...
