Torque converter bolts tie the converter to the flexplate, so engine rotation is carried into the automatic transmission. If a loose, damaged or missing converter bolt is behind a knocking or rattling noise from the bellhousing area, this bolt replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and consult the vehicle service information for the correct torque specification and installation procedure.
