2002 Double Cab TRD Tacoma

Hi , recently got a tacoma and have started noticing a Ticking sound in the automatic transmission when gear is engaged. ticking is comming from the front of the bell housing, where the torque converter would be. It is relatiive to the RPMs. Its harder to hear at speed but still noticible. On a cold day when i first start it up and put in gear it does not happen, once its runs for it bit the sound resumes.
Wondering if anyone has dealt with such an issue or if there are any hypothesis.
could it be the torque converter tapping against something?
Otherwise the transmission runs flawlessly, clean and full ATF, no vibration
Any input is appreciated,
thanks
