the dampener has a piece that mounts inside the tc and they don't see it. could the dampener and the pully have just fallen off? we heard a rubbing/grinding noise for several miles before the dash warning lights came on. i was on one side of an overpass and drove to the other side yto pull over. couple hundred feet. there was no loud engine noise.

do i just get a dampener and hope the crank is not broken?
help.
