Clicking noise in transmission 1986 Chevy C10

I’m hearing a clicking noise in my transmission. Is it supposed to be there because the bottom of the trans is open I can see the flywheel spinning?



No it is not supposed to. This noise can be common to several things.

  • A rock or piece of debris is lodged near the flywheel/Flex-plate
  • One of the torque converter bolts is loose and rubbing against something
  • The flywheel/Flex-plate is cracked
