Noise only happens under load in any forward gear. let off the gas and it goes away. ran it on the hoist at work and its definitely coming form the bellhousing area. removed the dust shield (no signs of contact). left it off, still made the noise. checked all the flexplate bolts. removed transmission. checked transmission pump. Everything checked out. Going to be putting the transmission back in tonight. looking to see if there is anything else I should check before putting it back together and living with it. (until something lets go and find out the hard way). thanks
