pmdrake Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hello. So my friend did an engine swap on his 1990 Subaru Legacy. During the change the shaft came out of the torque converter. Now, when we start the car there is a clunking kind of noise. Any suggestions on what can be causing that noise or how to fix it would be so helpful. Are there any spline alignments in the engine?

john in KY Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Probably didn't fully seat the input shaft. Often it hangs up 1/4 inch from being fully seated. If the car still moves in gear than that means you haven't destroyed the transmission pump. As for the noise, are the TC bolts tight? Noise seems to me just about has to TC related.

pmdrake Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thank you for the feedback John. I will share this info with him and see if we can't get this noise to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstep Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 You also might check to make sure the torque converter is completely seated you have to spin it until you feel it click in 3 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
