For those with A/T cars, I would suggest that when you pull everything apart to do this job you should also check the flex plat at the rear of the torque tube, when I did my changeover my torque converter flex plate had a crack that went two thirds they way around.

I replaced the flexplate with M/T clutch but after that there is some strange tinkeling noise from bellhousing. It comes only when engine is idlening. When rpm-s are higher, its quiet. I changed the clutch disc and torque tube again but the tinkeling noise remained.
Both clutch discs had rubber parts broken and they were welded tight. So there isn't dampening function any more. I used both discs in M/T cars before and they were fine there. Unfortunatelly I don't have any unbroken rubber disc for testing.
Can this welded disc cause the tinkeling noise? I have double checked everything and have run out of ideas for now while all seemes to be OK.
