After repairing my spun bearing, i turned my boost down to 8psi to be safe, and took a nice 20 minutes drive. Until i noticed a sound from under the car everything was good. When im in drive and i slowly accelerate at the beginning of 1st gear and the beginning of second gear i hear a noise. i can best describe it as a bolt being shaken around in an aluminum jar. i got under the car nothing is loose. am i looking at a tranny problem here

Did you loosen your headers/manifolds to repair the spun bearing (not sure if you removed engine or heads)? If you did or even if you didnt, it might be an exhaust leak. Take a look at this video and see if the sound is similar.....I spent 2 days lookin for a loose bolt and sounded around the tranny and it ended up being an exhaust leak at the passenger side header gasket.

yeah i took off the headers among other things, but i put new gaskets and sh*t on. i checked all the bolts, no exhaust leak and its not a loose bolt, as least not one i can get to.

yeah it doesnt sound like that clip in the video. its only when i barely accelerate in first gear, or when it shifts into second and im barely accelerating. its a loud metallic sound like something is rattling in a tin can and its coming only when i put the vehicle into park or when im SLOWLY accelerating in first and second gear.

I once changed a clutch on my old 88gt and after I started the car I heard a loud clanking noise........I left a damn screwdriver in the tranny bell housing, lol. Count your tools and make sure you didn't leave anything in the oil pan. I used a stethoscope (what doctors use to listen to your heart but with just the small hose at the end) to pinpoint where the noise was coming from. You can try getting a piece of metal rod or a long screwdriver and touch parts of the engine with one end and put your ear on the other end, try to narrow down the area of the noise.

lol no tools missing, ive already pinpointed the noise to the transmission/driveshaft. just wondering if anybody else had this noise, and what it was. but im not missing any tools, haha.

Update:

you guys dont wanna know how, alcohol and friends involved, but i found out the noise isnt my transmission. apparantly its coming from my passenger side exhaust pipe, and echoing all the way down to my midpipe, hence why i thought it was near the driveline. no clue what it is, but im hoping its just a loose hangar.
