Rattle after TC Install

Hey guys, I've got a bit of a mystery rattle. After I installed my torque converter, as soon as I turned the car on and put it in drive I heard a rattle on what I'm thinking is the right side of the transmission. I finally went home for Easter and I was pretty confident it was a heat shield rattling. I took that off and I was totally wrong. Rattle is still there.

I was thinking maybe it's the cooler lines, but that seems unlike being as they are hard lines and don't exactly change shape. Does anyone have any ideas? It seems to only happen when I put it in drive or reverse at no or very low speeds.

I have no clue for you man, wish I could help, I see you took my advice though and put that Torque converter in, how are you liking it so far.

Love it! Just got my HP Tuners in today and it seems to only be getting better, we'll see how it does at the track!

Yeah I have a rattle or noise, but only at 2000rpms and not all the time after my install.

I had 2 convertors rattle before. One I didn't put oil in on a first install (17yrs old) and the second was after my GN motor blew up. Both needed replaced. Just ideas.
