SUBJECT: RATTLING/CLICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE AT START UP
MODELS AFFECTED: 1985-1988 CIMARRONS WITH 2.8L V-6
Owners of 1985-1988 Cimarrons equipped with 2.8L engine with automatic transmission may notice a rattling or clicking noise coming from the engine compartment. This noise is more apparent when the engine is cold and usually goes away as the engine warms up.
The noise may be due to a warped torque converter shield being contacted by the flywheel. A torque converter shield currently used on other models has been released for use on the 2.8L Cimarron.
To repair this condition install converter shield, P/N 10009088. Use three of the existing bolts removed from the vehicle for installation.
