It is the Torque Convertor, the noise is something to do with the torque from the engine coming on and off from the main shaft, possible also some to do with the lockup in the torque convertor....not cheap, and some garages want to take the body off to do it....
Mine noise stopped after TC change

Just an update
Had the jeep in with a gearbox specialist this morning. He drove it and ran a diagnostic check. He is very confident it is not gearbox / torque converter related.
Suggested looking at the piping see if there is anything obvious loosely connected or split.
Would have thought that would of knocked and engine light on but hopefully I dodged a big bill for now!!
