If the exhaust pipe (with the converters) is moving a lot, check the hanger where it connects to the transaxle. The front 'Y' pipe assembley (usually called catalyitic converter in parts lists...and is the pipes from the exhaust manifold, the 2 <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=22&k=catalytic%20converters" onmouseover="window.status='catalytic converters'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">catalytic converters</a>, and the 'Y' where the 2 pipes become 1....) connects to the exhaust manifold, the transaxle, and then the single pipe with the flex sections...which connects to the large square muffler.
In other words, there are 4 points of connection.....all but 1 (transaxle bracket) would make a lot of noise if they were broken...... |
Wiswind -
Great Advise! I am going to start there. It is just the most horrible feeling. I was afraid it was the Tourqe converter or somthing worse. But like it does happen daily and only while stopped in drive..Doesnt happen when you put the van in park nor reverse. I will check into those areas you gave me.
Thank You!!
