    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    I took the starter out with a running engine then went for a test drive and yes the rattle is gone. And sorry Bendix is the right word indeed, somehow the return spring isn’t coming back in all the way which is why it’s hitting the flywheel in an incline. Does anyone know whether the starter...

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    Think I found the issue, there seems to be a lot of room between the hook and the axle bearing, that may explain why the start gear isn't all the way pushed back? Another one could be the solenoid, the return spring feels strong but maybe it's been replaced for a different one which is slightly...

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    UPDATE! I had a friend came over (couldn't find wheel chocks locally unfortunately) so had him step on the brakes while I was checking what was going on underneath while in an incline.... turns out it was the starter hitting the starter ring gear on the flywheel, really dumb but I think someone...

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    Thanks for the quick replies, magnet is a good idea. Will order one and try that (I believe the oil pan is steel and not ferro so should hold?). I also just used a soft hammer to tap on all the areas around the gearbox: oil pan low front and rear, flywheel, transfer case, and the exhaust all...

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    I took off the clutch and flywheel cover tonight, all looks good. I also tried locating the noise again without success.... here's the diagnosis with the clutch cover removed: - Only rattles when in an incline or acceleration - Rattles both with gear engaged and in neutral - Rattles both with...

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    Thanks I'm going to pop that cover off tonight, here's a video with the rattling sound while in neutral but in an incline: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AryhR9emulXFg7U86buYspbmY0MN3w?e=yfIbmQ

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    So another live update: I just had someone holding the brake for me while in an incline (unfortunately the park brake adjuster was already fully in) - Car was idling - Gear neutral - Rattling sounds doesn't seem to be coming from the fan hitting the shroud or the front, it's really close to the...

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    Thanks Mattressking, my handbrake doesn't work backward so need help but yes will ask someone to sit in while in an incline to keep a foot on the brake so I can make a better video. In the meantime, just wanted to say you folks are all amazing by helping me troubleshoot this and pointing me in...

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    Alright, another update: I just checked whether the fan was hitting the shroud... - Realized piece of the shroud was broken and hanging loose, I taped it as a quick fix (see pics) - Drove again through my garage but the rattle persists See pics below. I have a plastic fan that seems to have...

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    Hmm interesting, I'm going to check the fan/shroud, I would assume that if that's the case, the result is a damaged fan or shroud?

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    Thanks again for your insights all, I just went for a drive in my garage to further diagnose it (I live in a building with a parking garage that has multiple stories with steep driveways). Here are my findings: - Only rattles in an incline or decline (or by accelerating quickly or...

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    Thanks for the replies guys, the weird thing is that sometimes it's rattling sometimes it's not. For example, yesterday I took it out for a short spin and it was rattling continuously in all gears, then I stopped at a traffic light and in 1st gears with clutch in it rattled, when putting it into...

    Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

    Hey guys, Another question, my FJ40 1978 makes a strangle rattle. Usually only when engaged in gear and driving, but sometimes also does it in neutral. The sound varies with RPM. Really think this could be a loose nut or built that fell in during repairs, the car had it since I bought it (6...
