hi guys,i've been having this stinkin noise in my car lately and its gettin worse,its similar to a rod knocking but it seems to come from the tranny,i searched the forums and i found that there is something about the tq converter bolts going loose,do you guys have any more suggestions?thanks in advance

 

I worked on a car w/ that type of noise, the cause was the bellhousing bolts were loose. I checked his TC bolts and they were fine, so we just removed/cleaned/reinstalled his bellhousing bolts with a dab of Loctite blue and no more noise.

 

BELL HOUSING!!! Seriously.... I thought is was distributer noise or TC noise but after about a month of that I FINALLY found out what it was when I started having tranny trouble...

 

i've you have driven long enough with the bellhousing to engine bolts loose, the flywheel will crack. the same thing happened to a friends firebird.

check those along with the TC bolts. good luck.

 

thanks guys,i'll check those asap!

 

I never would have believed it, but It happened to me too!
I thought the flywheel had broken off but it was just loose bolts. Severly loose to the point the trans was moving 1/4".
Jp

 

any update on this?

 

it turned out to be the tq.converter bolts,thanks a lot guys
