I believe there was one correction to the shop manual WRT to the throttle (valve) linkage, plus other variations and additional checks specified in Service Counselor and/or Service Technical Bulletin.

No mattter what aspect of the car you are working on, after reviewing the shop manual, be sure to check this website's Packard Service Index feature.

As for noise, if you are sure it is coming from the front of the transmission, I'd suggest removing the lower cover to inspect the flywhell/flexplate screws. If you haven't done so already, that might be a good time to drain and refill the trans fluid - including the converter. If you remove the spark plugs from the engine, you'll find it easier to rotate the converter and access both of its drain plugs.
