    Destroyed Flex Plate /Ring Gear on GU auto

    Hi - travelling on highway felt bang, shudder. Pulled up thinking blow out. Tyres good, engine restarted but not engaging. Short story - trucked back to mechanic , auto trans pulled out and wow looks like someone has thrown in a grenade. Will try to attach photo of ring gear/flex plate. The convertors nozzle that fits into the centre hole is also mangled. Am told that a new torque convertor could cost up to $3k. Mine has been sent to a company that reconditions them. They claim that this is not a rare occurence. Not an expense that I am looking forward to. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this or how it could be avoided? Only done 167,000 km.
