Default anyone had to replace torque converter?
04 X-type with 75k miles. Hearing a "Clank, clank" noise while in P, D, or R, but not in neutral. Car drives fine and shifts ok. Independant Jag shop thinks could be Torque Converter or Flywheel. I know they are not cheap, but hopefully not a new transmission.

Did it through a code? New converter is about 800+, expect to another 800+ in labor. Hopefully they'll properly diagnose it before they proceed.

For that price you can damn near find a used tranny. However, probably not the best idea with the X-Type.

I agree, but you're taking a big chance......and a 'rebuilt' one is about 5K! Screwed coming and going! Hopefully it's just a flex plate,,,good luck!

This happened to the 03 I used to own. The flex plate came loose. Dealer fixed it in about 4 hours.

Turnsout it flexplate needs to be replaced (whew!). Out of the 3 scenarios (Flexplate, Torque Conv., New Trans) this is the cheapest. Parts/Labor total $850 at ind. shop. They need to drop trans to access flexplate which is where costs come in.
