    Hello I replaced my 3.4 2003 toyota tundra transmission. The transmission is making a grinding scraping noise near the torque converter. The torque converter bolts were torque to 30 ft lbs. Anyone know what could be the cause. Transmission fluid has been filled

    Does the noise happen in all gears? P,r,n,d,2,1?
    Stopped and moving? Idle and under load?

    So the scratching noise was coming from the tail which was slight bent and coming from the shaft but. I have the car lifted and now when I accelerate in Drive or reverse it doesn’t make any noise but when I press the break it makes the noise coming from the bell housing. The video format I’m using is from my phone. I have an iphone

    So I dropped the transmission and changed out the torque converter with one of a Toyota tacoma with the same 3.4 engine. The noise went completely away however now it’s not shifting right when going in first and second gear. I’m assuming the car that went to the Yard was due to a bad transmission. I think the torque converter must have been damaged and they kept driving and it damage the first and second gear of the transmission. Would changing the torque converter with the tacoma one cause any shifting issues. It fit perfectly, same bolts and everything. The last question is I’m gonna have to get my money back, has a year warrant but I found an 04 transmission v6 2wd. They said it not the right transmission part for an 03. Are 03 and 04 v6 2wd a direct swap??
