Everything has been great with my '93 NA 2WD E4OD until the other night. Drove to work, no issues, cranked up to drive home, sounded like a can of nuts and bolts rattling around. I had to get home, so drove anyway. Noises stopped when underway, but came back each time I stopped at a light. I figured TC ate itself. Ordered a TC from RockAuto. Has been parked in the garage since then. Had this weekend to R&R torque converter. Started the take apart process, got to the TC bolts, all four are loose. Not handy loose, but not snug. While draining tranny, caught first fluid in a coffee filter to look for bits of metal, same with drain plug on TC. No shiny stuff found. Thinking of removing pan and checking filter, if no metal, tighten bolts, put back together, fill with tranny fluid and hope for the best. Will loose TC bolts cause bad noises?
