I have a noise coming from the transmission. It's sounds like a tap. It doesn't appear to come from the motor. I go underneath it while running and it sounds like it is coming from about 6 inches away from where trans and motor meet. Automatic transmission.
The local mechanic said "Live with it". But, I of course would like to know what might fix it, or is a bigger deal than I can handle i.e: rebuild.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
TIA, Shane
Could be a cracked flexplate, or perhaps one or more loose flexplate bolts.
So it might be a good idea to take the pan off, replace the filter, and have a look around inside there?

Well, if that hasn't been done in awhile, it's not a bad idea, but it's also not where the tapping is coming from.
So, no real easy way to fix this. It sounds mechanical, and it is very consistant. I would think a rock would sound different. It doesn't sound like a value tap, its like someone was tapping the casing with a wrench at a tempo of about 120bpm (I am a musican).
If I didn't know better I would have said it was coming from the motor.
Thanks to Dan for always being there for my questions.
