    We determined that the rattle is coming from the area of the torque converter. You can actually move the flywheel back and forth, but the crank doesn't move. The torque converter to flywheel bolts were tight, could the bolts on the other side be loose?

    Very possible bolts are loose and egged out the bolt holes,or center of flexplate simply cracked out.
