Default Flywheel..........

Ok guys, this was very strange and I need some input...........

The last few weeks, every time I start the car it sounds like the starter was not engaging with flywheel.......well today as as I was driving down the freeway at crusing speeds, all of the sudden the car would not go, it felt like I was in neutral, so I coasted over and shut car off.........went back to started and it didnt start, it sounded like something broke inside of the flywheel housing.......Has anyone ever encountger this problem, please let me know! !

I get a feeling something inside of the flywheel broke, so tranny will be coming out, maybe sending it to Rodney to get it refreshed nd change te torque converter to a 3400

Never encounterd it in a C5 but broken flex plates are common with HP automatics.
