BTW Is welding a option if it is cracked / elongated torque converter bolt holes / rivets loose etc or is it replace only? |

i would replace it,
wreckers should sell a good one between $20-$40 EA - EL I6 are all the same..

topped up with new oil 1000kms ago little improvement but very audible Don't top up, drain it and refill with clean stuff. Obviously not in this case, but dirty oil can cause the hyla's to tap. |

Sorry to bring this post back up again But it seems as if i have the same problem with my EA 30th... When looking at the bellhousing, do i remove the dust cover from the front of the housing, or from behind? I had a look from behind and couldnt see anything to remove :S

looking from the front of the car to rear trans (on bellhousing) there should be 4 bolts holding the metal cover on, undo and there should be another 4 holding the torque converter, undo and put some lock thread on the bolts ( only 1 or two will be visible, keep rotating engine clockwise. theres the bolt on the front harmonic balancer (22mm) to turn it from
