So I have this clicking from the flex plate converter bolts hitting the bellhousing sheetmetal cover. I tightened them all and still have a click. It only happens when I give it gas and when it shifts. The flex plat looks ok...from what I can see with the access cover removed. So the burning question is; Is it the flex plate or thrust bearing? And how much am I in for replacing either? This is very frusterating, I can't go mudding with this problemo. Please help!

th 400 ???? unbolt the converter from the flex plate and tap the flex plate with a wrench and see if it rings or goes thud if it rings (like a bell) the flex plate is good if it goes thud you need a flex plate they crack around the crank hub and will walk and click until they break all the wayI\'ve seen gsmikie\'s video for the TH400 and thought it was just awful.watching a guy tear down a greasy pile of metal in a junkyard. it dosent have to be surrounded by water to be an island

it is the th 400. i will try both suggestions. someone also said the crank can walk if trust brearing on the main was worn, is that true. Darn, I hate working down there is is a greasy mess. The last person left the leaks and filled the engine periodically. Now it is all over the tranny. Just venting.Matt 'Captain 'insert new stupid thing I did here''

It was finally my wise old/dear old father that said "Hey, hand me a pry bar" that figured it out. He put the bar behind the harmonic balancer and the crank would move back and forth...
Have not torn into either engine yet. But will use one of them later this Summer for the Hunting Mobile project that I am fixin' to begin.
