I have heard that some have had a problem with the torque converter coming loose from the flex-plate on a 4.0 grand. Mine has a loud rattle that seems to come from the trans bell housing. It sounds like a catalytic converter that has gone bad, but only louder. Could this be my problem?
I noticed it for the first time this morning. When I start the motor and it revs up and then drops a bit it will rattle. I have not had much time to look at it, but it does not sound like it is coming from the catalytic converter (which is brand new, the old one rattled). It does not rattle all the time, only at this certain RPM (slightly above idle)
Also I noticed my rear main seal is leaking a bit... any tips on replacement? I hear it can be done without removing the transmission.
Thanks
