not too his knowledge  :-/
he bought the car off a customer so he has no history of the car other then what he has none to it.
my mate is a vx trained mechanic ( just started his own business )
he is pretty sure its the torque convertor but has never known one to rattle like this before it goes so asked me to ask you lads  :y

Might be worth checking is any debris has got stuck in that area, and isn't dropping out on its own...

The torque converter does rattle if the plates inside fall apart, (come detached, generally knackered).

Had this happened to one of the fork lift truck gearboxes at work, sounded like a bag of nails with no drive in one direction.


I remember that Barlow Material Handling wanted 3k to rebuild the gearbox, we spent a few hundred quid sending out the torque converter to be refurbished.

They cut the weld around the outside diameter and the plates inside were mangled somewhat as one had broke loose.

he's fixed it  :y
turned out that the last muppet that worked on the box had never tightened some of the flywheel bolts properly and 2 of the bolts had sheared off and was rattleing away in there  >:(

thanks for the ideas  :y
