My Cobra is a Rattlesnake!!?

[direwolfed]

Long story short. It was raining pretty hard in the bay (CA) recently and I was pulling into a parking lot there was a nasty up and down into the lot. Hit my baby right in the sweet spot (I hope) on a cat heat plate. I mean it hit HARD. If my Cobra had balls .. it got kicked into them dead center. It stopped the car y'all.

I parked and went to go visit my partner for a brief moment and when I came back. I turned the ignition and I have a Rattlesnake now!??

I'm hoping that its just a heat plate rattle but I'm starting to get into my head.. I lift it up tomorrow to look and do some work on it but the rattle. Is. Horrendous. I will attach a pic of the kick to it's privates and a vid of it's new rattle. What do you all think? I fear it's transmission related. I dont know. It's like when you get a cough and look up your symtoms online and find out that youre going to die, you know? Please advise.

possible heat shield or broken brick in the cat. gonna need to be hands on to pinpoint but it does sound like one of those 2 things

Why would you jump to thinking it was a transmission issue?

Fear. Also, going down the YouTube rabbit hole. it's like when you look up your cold symptoms on mayo clinic and it says you possibly have cancer.

Sounds like the heat shield.

yeah. I seperated the heat sheild and made sure all bolts were tight and secure. turned it on an got under to see if there were any rattles and nothing. It's a broken brick in the cat ... I think. lol
