Ok so, last year an incident happened that cracked my original 32rh in literal half. I bought another one that was used from a website (I know..). It works perfect, shifts fine, and is very clean. I had to get leaky seals and stuff replaced, but other than that it works good. The valve body was pristine clean when the filter was replaced. However, since I had the transmission put in a couple months ago there was always this metallic noise from between the engine/tranny. My original one was quiet and didn’t make a peep. I’m pretty comfortable it’s not an engine noise. Well lo and behold last night I started the jeep up and the noise is horrible. I took the inspection plate off, and looked at everything, the flex plate looked good, no broken teeth, all the flex plate bolts were there and tight and everytbing looked good I used a screwdriver to turn the flex plate over so I can look at everything In detail. Here’s the video if anyone would like to help me out. I’m gonna bring it over to the shop that put it in right by my house since it’s under warranty in their name. Maybe the tc wasn’t pushed in all the way?? Idk. I’m going to bring it by the shop right by my house that put it in since the warranty is under their name. I couldn’t put the tranny in my self because of warranty rules. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Damn, you've done some damage of some sort to the torque convertor there it looks like. I would make every effort to fix that plate and cover it back up. Without removing the transmission though it's hard to say what is going on, but from listening to it some damage has been done of some sort, even if it's not affecting anything.

That was just the inspection cover. It has been making that noise since the used one was put in.. but today it was worse. Kinda weird that some days it wouldn’t make a noise and some others it would.. guess warranties exist for a reason... whew.

Yes, I'd still put that cover back on though just to keep things from getting in there.

If it's warrantied, let someone else do the work.

We can all sit here guessing what it might be all day long, but either way that transmission is coming out, I can all but guarantee that.

allright, I have some bad news. The flex plate was cracked around where it went into the motor. Good news is is that the noise is gone 👍
