I have had this metallic sound coming from the front of my engine for the past month. I happens when I am accelerating and the rpms reach about 3,000....right before it shifts. I goes away as soon as it shifts. Happens most of the time. When the car is in park i don't hear any sounds. Its not very loud and if the radio is up you probably couldn't hear it. I took it to my local guy and he said that the plastic thing on top of the engine that says 4.0 SOHC was lose and made a metallic sound when he hit it. He fixed it and I still have the sound. I do all regular maintence and have replaced the shocks. I have had the trans looked over and everything was good. I doesn't have any problem shifting. What do you all think?
