rattle on accelleration

[t24moore]

I'm thinking cracked or loose flexplate. If it doesn't do it in park or neutral then it has to be tranny related. The torque converter isn't engaged when not in gear. Its also bolted to the flexplate.

ok i will have that checked,,, if thats not it do you have any other suggestions

 

[t24moore]

Can't really be anything engine related....where does it sound like the sound is coming from?

 

[vwthumper]

well its hard to say u know how noises travel,,, sounds like from near the back side of engine compartment

 

[t24moore]

True, check the plate tho. That would be my best guess.

.Possible flexplate issue? Remove your flexplate cover, rotate it to make sure it isn't cracked. Check the bolts also. Is it a metallic rattle or more like a ticking? A bad flex joint can cause a ticking sound when accelerating.

x2 mine had the same problem and it turned out that two of my convertor bolts were loose.
