XJ knocking
Hey I have a 98 XJ that was making the typical flexplate sounding knock. I replaced the flexplate and the starter and it still has the same knock coming from the bell housing area. I have to say I am at a loss as to what it could be now. Any ideas? Thanks.

Piston knock in one of the rear cylinders. I though the same thing, then realized i don't even have a flex plate (5-speed manual)
And adding onto Firestorms post, a long screwdriver will do just fine ;-)

OK after more time under the jeeo I am more confused about this sound than I was before lol. The knocking doesn't get faster when u give it gas it just goes away. The sound is louder in the jeep than it is outside. To hear it good outside you have to stick your head next to the vent below the windshield. I have now replaced the flex plate, starter, and serviced the transmission. Sounds like someone slowly tapping their knuckle on a piece of wood. I'm now at a complete loss to explain it.
