when i start my car up i hear this loud flapping noise as if the timing belt was hitting on the cover by i hear this right where the crank shaft is i rev the car up it gets quieter and faster flapping noise. this is on a 99 contour zetec. anyone know what i can look for? since i moved to another state my car going down hill bad usually it's a good car for the 6 yrs we had it.
 
my transmission is going out i been driving it on the atx with 1st and 3rd gear only for the last 3k miles and now the engine making noise. could this be cause my engine heating up from driving it with a bad transmission? it's not over heating or anything maybe im just ruining the engine by driving it this way.
