Check the oil pressure to rule out the oil and engine bearings. Is the oil light coming On?

Do you think it would help to get a tune up?

A tune-up is not gonna help -You need to locate where that knocking is coming from then comeback and tell.

There was a hose loose that connects to the engine and one that has a crack in it. I think the noise is actually air pressure. I am wondering if something happened when the transmission was put in.

I don't know anything about cars so I have to say there is a big hose right at the front and a skinny hose underneath.
