Hi, wondering what inside the transmission could cause a ticking noise, its pretty loud and the faster i go the faster it ticks, it was rebuilt about 10000 ago and it doesnt slip or have any shifting problems... i just did a ls1 rearend swap but the noise is coming from the transmission im sure... could changing gear ratios cause any problem like this?

 

Does it increase with engine speed, or with vehicle speed?

 

it increases with the vehicle speed, when i first start driving its very silent but then it gets worse...after like a minute

 

still looking for some answers here... im going to take it to a tranny shop but i dont want to get taken for a ride, if anyone has any ideas what could cause this would be great

also if they decide it has to come apart are there any upgrades i should do while its out and if so what exactly, Thanks

 

still lookin for some suggestions here, much appreciated

 

anyone ever have a similar problem with there auto tranny?

 

I do, but I just realized it is coming from near the transmission. I bought the car without the AIR tubes connected to the cat, so I always thought it was an exhaust leak causing the ticking. but, when I plugged it, and stuck my head to listen, it sounds like it's coming from my transmissin/torque converter area. I can't hear it as loud from up above the engine, which leads me to believe, i hope, it's not my lifters.
