I have a '97 XLT, 4x4, 4.0 SOHC that has developed a knock similar to a rod knock. It rattles when started, subsides, then comes back when warmed up. I have been told by two people that it may be the torque converter bolts or nuts if used are loose it will make a knock that can sound like a rod knock. I have looked under and around the tranny, and do not see a way to inspect the torque converter. Does the tranny need to be unboled and slid back, or can I remove the starter, and check through that opening?
