What in the hell noise is this?
Just got back the car from the transmission shop. I had it rebuilt. I don't suspect foul play. However, I just noticed the noise last night. Maybe there's a connection. I don't know.
What could this knock/rattle/whatever be?

that is a whole lot of noise and appears to be rattling faster than the engine is turning. Sounds like the torque converter bolts are all loose and hitting on the back of the block. You can check this by placing your hand on the plastic cover that's located below the starter. If you feel something tapping there then that's your problem. I wouldn't run the car much as whatever it is may cause severe damage if left unchecked.

Well, apparently, it's the water pump. That would explain the leaking coolant I saw last night. It did seem like the noise was coming from the front of the engine and the transmission guy noticed it, too, but I just wanted to make sure it wasn't transmission-related.
Anyway, how different is replacing the LS1 water pump than on the LT1? Is it easier?
