Best Answer

A torque converter is a toroidally shaped assembly mounted between the crankshaft and the automatic transmission. It has two finned plates that are separated by Transmission Fluid. When the plate attached to the engine spins, the fluid motion makes the other plate spin, which moves the car. It takes the place of a mechanical clutch.

Whats wrong if you hear a inconsistent knocking in a 1994 ford aerostar from where the engine meets transmission?

AnswerIts very possibly either a broken flex plate or unbolted tork converter. My flex plate broke 3/4 of the way around and made intermiten growling noises. A different ford I owned had only two tork converter bolts instead of three and one was loose and it made all sorts of ugly noises.
