Ok, I have a new noise this week. It sounds lke a metallic rattle coming from somewhere in between the firewall and the engine/transmission area, I know its not the inspection plate, took it off. It almost sounds like a losse heat shield, its not rpm specific, so that kinda rules out a bearing. And every now and then when I hit a bump it goes away. I've checked the t/c linkage, loose but when you hold it, its still there, tried the hold the exhaust, cat area, and it was still there. Would loose cat internal sounds travel up the exhaust pipe to the bell housing area? To be honest I've crawled underneath and tried to pin-point the sound and I have no clue. It really sounds like an exhaust heat shield is loose. Hopefully somebody out there has a remote clue. TIA
