Default Suburban 1500 6.5 faulty transmission

Just bought a 1997 6.5 4x4 Suburban with a transmission problem. The transmission makes a rattling sound that disappears during acceleration. Just after i made this video the transmission failed, the noise disappeared and the gear is not engaging. Does this sound like a faulty torque converter?

Doesn't matter. Your transmission is gone so a new TQ will be too.

Found the problem. Bolts holding the TQ and flexplate together snapped.
