What is this noise????
http://youtu.be/jaJypWq0zWs
Hope this uploads. I was coming home from work today and noticed when i turned onto the road i heard this noise. It only happened between 1000-bout 1500 rpms from what i could hear. I drove bout 20 minutes home. There are no lights or codes. It was running fine other than that. When i got home i got new exhaust clamps on. When i started it up it started making that noise at idle. Cant tell if its from the trans or the block. Any suggestions??

Do you have a SFI flex plate or a stock flex plate? The stock flex plates are known to crack. This could be what you are hearing. Also check to make sure all the bolts are tight, I have seen them back out before causing a clatter noise.

from what i noticed the first time, it was only to a certain rpm. mostly lower rpms. im almost sure its a stock flex plate. the flexplates just crack? i didnt drive it hard. just started it up. is it possible its something internal in the engine?

Pop the valve covers off and check all your rockers just to eliminate a possible problem with them or pushrods.
Might also get or make a stethoscope and listen to every part of the motor/tranny to try and isolate the noise....sound schism through aluminum pretty good, so sometimes its hard to find true location of the issue.

well. drove it to the bank no noise. didnt here the noise in the vid. Went to start it and nothing.... Tried again and it worked. wtf!!!! went back home, shut it off. Went to start it to see if it would do it again and it clicks once and nothing. So thinking the starter went bad. AHHHHH one problem after another.

well poltergeist 02. update. i changed the starter(had a little hiccup theres a thread about it) and there is no noise now. When i looked at the old starter, the gear would move freely on the shaft if i turned it up and down. so the solenoid was gone. the flywheel teeth looked fine and didnt see any cracks in the flywheel.
