And these guys are normally best priced out of the common auto stores.

Pull the starter motor off and check all the torque convertor bolts while you are down there.

Boy is def seeing things. All plugs out so can turn by balancer nut easy enough.

I see no 'chunk' missing... ... but them there clunks don't sound too good hey...

Something looks wrong to me as I thought the TC is bolted directly to the flex plate and they rotate together as an assembly.

I didn’t think there was anything else sitting between the TC and flex plate but in your case there is and it’s rotating at a different rate to the TC/flex plate itself

Compare to the below video

Not sure what I’m missing but then again I’ve not rebuilt an auto trans…

Just found the following

and text below the video was

In this video you can clearly hear the sound that seems to be caused by a bolt bouncing around inside the bell housing. It was not a bolt. In short terms, CHECK YOUR STARTER. After multiple hours of trying to figure out the problem and pulling stuff apart. We learned that the starter would not hold the drive pinion back causing it to bounce off the flywheel. This is why the noise was more noticeable while on an incline. Hope this information and video helps!​

Nah didn't get to it. I'll try later but more keen to get whatever off is needed to see the plate...

That's the starter motor.

That's the starter motor.

Or the gearbox.
