A noise is coming from the flywheel area it sounds as if something is broken off and is caught in teeth or gears or something, when it is first started it sounds as if something is going to come flying out of the flywheel area, a grinding, clunking, banging, scraping, moaning noise happens instantly

Hi there,

You may have a cracked drive plate, loose converter bolts or the starter Bendix is loose and bouncing off the ring gear, check these first.
