camaro73man Feb 27th, 05, 08:36 PM I have a 73 Camaro with a 305 V-8, 200 R tranny. i recently put the new tranny in (just temperary of course) but there is a ticking sound. I thought it was the lifters so we tightened them up but its still there. I put it on the lift at work and its coming from right next to the flex plate and torqe converter, but i cant figure out exactly what it is. anyone have any ideas what it could be??? help please it's very annoying HELP!!! dawg Feb 28th, 05, 02:22 AM flex plate warped? sounds like it. or bad front bearing on the tranny. Bigdaddy69 Feb 28th, 05, 08:19 AM A cracked Flexplate and or loose converter bolts will make a ticking sound. dawg Feb 28th, 05, 02:46 PM ITS A BOMB! step away for the vehicle! Run269 Feb 28th, 05, 05:03 PM yup, second the loose torque converter bolts. you did put the flex plate on facing the correct way right??? sicsD8 Mar 1st, 05, 08:48 AM headers?? Randy S Mar 6th, 05, 03:13 PM Check the cap on your distributor. A buddy's car was making a ticking that sounded like a lifter, but we couldn't isolate it to either bank. Rev the motor and the frequency increased. Sounded a lot like a lifter not pumping up. Turns out the cap was loosened to lower the motor when putting in a new tranny and they forgot to secure it when finished. The cap was just loose enough for the rotor to barely make contact with the cap. tick tick tick kristofer Mar 7th, 05, 06:01 PM are the bolts hitting anything...when did it start? after the tranny install? | ||
