Flex Plate

[bidibronco]

A friend of mine has an 85 BII and he thought the engine was locked up. After pulling the engine (didn't think to trow a socket on it) I had found that it was fine but the flex plate (of flywheel depending on who you talk to) had ripped off the the crank. I've never seen this before and I don't know what could've caused it? Anyone have any idea what may have happend and if anything in the tranny may be gone or not? Any info is great! Thanks!
