I Think I Hurt My TC Pretty Bad Today

[WildBill's LLY]

I was driving from Fort Walton Beach FL to Charleston SC today and about 100 miles from Charleston I heard a noise that was not normal, so i pull over and as the truck is idling it is rattling and chattering super loud. the noise is in all gears, but goes away after about 1400rpm. I have been looking searching the forum and i guess its either the TC or Flexplate, any ideas?

Did some of the bolts come loose?

I haven't looked yet, i guess ill be waking up early before work to look at it. And try and find a ride to work.

It happened to one of my buddies on here so you could of ran into the same thing

If the bolts backed out then the TC would still be good? Or would that cause something else to fail?

 

[DieselmafiaLLY]

If all did then it wouldnt work so I'm thinking one or two....I would take em all out one by one and locktite em. Fyi he used one of those snapon inspection cameras to check

If you continue to drive it, even easy, you will ruin the threads in the converter.
