Clanking Sound Came Back
 
Hi all:

Last year I posted about the mysterious "Clanking" sound coming from
the engine after driving in hot weather. Took it to the trans people
that rebuilt it, after a few "we don't hear no sounds?" I proved to
them that it was happening (drove around for half an hour in hot
weather). They said they fixed it but I noticed today that it came
back. It was that the distance between the flywheel or whatever is too
close to the engine, I think.

Here was a post from Edward that was in the right area:

had EXACT same noise during hot conditions/intermittent etc. on my old
'95 Grand Cherokee. There should be an inspection plate/cover where
your
trans. and torque convertor meet the engine. Pull cover and eyeball
the
bolt-heads, they are "ticking" against the flat plate cover after
enough
heat expansion takes up the minimal clearance.

I don't want to take it to Cottman, if I took it to Meineke , how much
guys they they will shaft me? sometimes I feel like going out and
getting a little Honda Civic but something about the Jeep that kept
pulling me back, like a gf you can't leave.

Thanks all!

Hi John,
Usually is a motor mount failure, letting the engine fall down on the
front driveshaft and skid plate:

Another point, if it were the engine mounts not working, wouldn't the
clanking be happening ALL the time and not only when
it's hot out? just asking before I take it to the shop.

The mounts get soft when hot, but....

Because the flywheel bolts were hitting before, that 'really' implies
they are loose and backing out to me.... I have seen this happen
before, more than once. I have also seen more than one transmission
come loose and fall out.

I would go back to the same place...

before, more than once. I have also seen more than one transmission
come loose and fall out.

I would go back to the same place...

The mounts get soft when hot, but....

Because the flywheel bolts were hitting before, that 'really' implies
they are loose and backing out to me.... I have seen this happen
before, more than once. I have also seen more than one transmission
come loose and fall out.

I would go back to the same place...

You could have a one way roller clutch in torque converter going bad
on one of its stators which is only noisy when it get hot anf fluid is
very thin. Torque converters can make some very strange and
intermittant noises when they fail.

Hi all:

I took the Jeep to AAMCO and they were able to replicate the problem
and localized it to
the transmission. Now the fun begins.

I'll keep everyone posted. By the way, he did say that there was at
least one engine mount
that not right.

Also, the car was making loud noise at speed 50 mph plus, he said it
might be my tire
or ball bearings.

You mean wheel bearings? Interesting that you had a noise, took it to a
transmission shop and it turned out to be the transmission. Good thing
you didn't take it to an engine shop, those are more expensive! :)

Good luck with the repairs and let us know what happens.

Well, it wasn't an accident. The noise appeared after I had my
transmission rebuilt at Cottmans. It's only logical. :)

And yes, wheel bearings.

Make sure your local AAMCO dealer has a good rep. Lots of those places
are really bad as far as service goes.

Make sure your local AAMCO dealer has a good rep. Lots of those places
are really bad as far as service goes.

I would have gone back to the shop that put it in. They fixed the noise
before right?

If it was an easy fix, then it is just a bolt backing out tagging the
inspection cover. That means they either didn't torque it right or
forgot some loctite where needed.

You are looking to get suckered into another rebuild in my mind...
