Has anyone had their torque converter bolts come loose? My wife rang me up today saying that she had stuffed the motor. Got home and started the car and heard a knocking sound from the bottom end and thouht that it had dropped a bearing or something. So i decided to take of the flywheel inspection plate and stuck my hand on the torque converter and it moved then i checked the bolt and it was loose plus the other 2 as well. My headache dissapeared as well as the $ symbols as i started up the car and it was nice and quiet again.

Hes right, the torque convertor bolts to a flywheel or thust plate. It has the ring gear on it for the starter.
