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?

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

Re: woodpecker on torque converter
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
