91 xj motor help
I just purchased a 91 xj sport. The motor is making some horrible noise and can't tell where it is coming from. It's an auto 4.0 when shifted into gear it makes a terrible knock. Flexplate? And it ticks. Any help would be great. Trying to fix it t

It could very well be the flexplate. I would pull the inspection covers off and take a peek.

Anybody know why it would make a loud clank putting into drive? Harsh engagement I think but how can I cure it?
