Weird Clanking/binding/popping sound please help Hey all. After I installed my torque converter I get this weird clanking/binding noise when I start-up or when the engine is at low idle (cold start). It sounds like a pop. I'll be idleing and it will pop and pop, a binding sorta pop. The sound is isolated around the bell housing area. I really don't know what it could be. Could anybody please help me with this? It only happens on low idle and start up. Not cruising or anything. I also have a stuck shift solenoid, but that wouldn't have anything to do with it.
Thanks,
Philip S.

i know it sounds stupid, but check your exhuast manifolds/headers at the head. I had a horrendous sounding tick that i and others thought was piston slap, but it just ended up being a realy really bad exhuast leak on one cylinder.

sounds exactly like what my car was doing right after the converter install..... couldnt figure out what it was.... come to find out my tranny mount was cracked, and soon after the install it busted in half....

I'll look into that too, but that doesn't sound like what it could be. I really need this figured out. It sounds like a marble in a tin can when I crank it. I think it might be something in the exhaust???? I really can't tell. Keep the suggestions coming. Tomorrow I'm unbolting the exhaust and taking a peak and doing some diagnosing. Thanks,
