Loud grinding noise: won't restart

Easy enough to just pull torque converter/flywheel bolts and turn engine over to see if that's the issue.

Yes, that's true. Before mine would restart, it acted like the battery was going dead(Wouldn't turn over). When it finally started, the grinding was nasty. I hope it is his trans like mine was. If its the engine, the expense will be much worse. MMG
