woodpecker on torque converter
 
I have been experiencing power-train vibration from around 2000 rpm to 2500 under load, i put in new motor and transmission mounts, checked everything from carburetor to timing and all it's good, now i have this noise on the torque converter, what the hell is that? Is it going bad?

i watched a few videos on youtube about this and it sounds like my flexplate is bad or going bad, time to replace it.

It doesn't look like the flexplate is the problem, even though a few teeth are damaged.
what i noticed was 2 of the bell howsing bolts were loose, i tighten them up and the noise stopped but the converter doesn't look like it's straight, flex plate tourns very straight but TC wabbles a little.
Look at the video and tell me what you think
