Hi folks,

I found the source of my rattle: the bracket that holds the tranny cooler lines to the exhaust downpipe.

The metal bracket that attaches to the transmission bellhousing is loose. I can feel that there's a hole on one side of the bracket, where a bolt would attach it firmly to the bellhousing... but there's no bolt there.

The other point where it rattles is where the loopy-bracket-clamp that holds the cooler lines is welded onto the exhaust pipe. I can just reach down and jingle the whole bunch.

How should I go about fixing this? I know this can't be good for my cooler lines.

By the way, this 740GLE was converted from a ZF to an AW70L sometime in 1999-2000. I think that the conversion may have left a few things bent or missing, or mismatched?

Thanks for the help, Brickboard-buds.

Ari
