Thread: 300 ticking under load only

  1. #1

    300 ticking under load only

    After several years of messing with this 300 (355) I finally have it running great. Problem is I now have a knock or a tick when I put it in gear and drive it. It does not have this knock or tick unless transmission is engaged.it is a 64 lesabre.and runs great. In park no noises even when reved. suggestions?

    have you used a stethoscope or long handled screwdriver to try to localize the origin point?

    possible minor exh leak.

    how is the oil pressure?

    Another possibility is loose torque converter bolts.
