HELP! I'm hearing this funny noise...
OK, guys, I may have missed this somewhere, but I've got this weird noise coming from the y-pipe/tranny area. It sounds like something rattling around in there (kinda like some marbles in a tin can or something) when I put my car in gear from a stop. I've been hearing this sound for a little while now, but I'm just not sure what it could be.
BTW - I've had most of the major stuff done (tranny rebuilt, water pump, timing belt, drive belts changed, tune-up, etc.) within the last 6 months or so. I'm hoping that it's just the y-pipe and that it's time to replace it (was planning on doing that anyway) but I'm just not sure. Thanks for the advice in advance.

ive had 2 maxes.one was a 90. (crashed it b4 x-mas) now i got a 91. they both have the same problem and it is definitely the y pipe shiels or sumthing in the y pipe because i changed my exhaust from the flex tube back and the noise was and is still there. a mechanic thought it could be some type of broken screen in the y pipe like in a cat? its a comon problem though. a good excuse for a h.p. y pipe!

Many thanks!!!
Thanks for the diagnosis, guys!
I was pretty sure that was the problem, but I figured I'd make sure and ask!
Thanks again - and I'll see you with more hp after this gets done!

The answer is...
Guys,
The answer to this problem was the engine mounts - they'd never been replaced, which is what was causing the rattling noise. Had to have it all redone when I had the last tranny job done.
