    Hmm not sure what else it could be. Might be an issue with the torque converter also. Best bet would be just to poke around and see if there's any visual or obvious damage.

    I'm hoping it's something simple I reaaaaaalllyyy do not want to take this transmission off again. What a pain in the ass.

    Thank you for your help.

    Yeah man no problem. Hope it's nothing major, but if it is, well you're definitely well versed in transmission installation/removal haha. Good luck.

    Spin the torque converter/flex plate? Only way I can think of how to do that is spinning the crankshaft bolt on the engine

    Yeah, spin the crank. Just need to check if its rubbing on something or maybe you forgot to bolt the torque converter to the flex plate. :rolleyes:

    ROAD FORCE BALANCE
    I started having a vibration right above 40mph to 50mph. Truck has fairly new Good Year Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar 265/70R 16 (no lift). Got a rotate and balance which did not help at all. They rotated front to back and this actually seemed to make it worse. I was starting to think I may need new universal joints (carrier bearing new).
    Took it back and they did a Road Force Balance and problem cured! One of the tires in the back was the culprit. I wasn't familiar with the term "Road Force Balance" but the mechanic said that it simulates actual driving condition (weight of the vehicle, etc).
    Thought I'd pass this along in case you have a vibration issue.

    Here are some sound bytes of the clicking/pinging coming from the torque converter

    EDIT: I quoted myself, oops.

    Anyone have a factory 2004 Collision manual? I'm like to know what the correct measurements are for the rear emblems placement. The spec sheet I was given is barely legible and copy of a reprint that was copied six more times on a 1980's ditto machine

    I would stop driving or running that before it blows apart and saws the bellhousing in half
