Sounds more like a thrust bearing required more than a crank.
Just how much crank movement (end float) do you have? Dial gauge on the crank and max movement either way?
But pretty hard for an auto to destroy a thrust washer unless there were problems with the flexplate/torque converter earlier in it's life.
