So im posting this in transmission technical because thats where I think the problem is coming from. I have a chevy 350 mated to a stock TH350. Earlier today the motor was running just fine. Not a single problem. Out of nowhere I started hearing a very loud clanging noise. At first I thought it was the header shaking violently. I literally checked everything I could, headers, valvetrain, starter, exhaust, pulleys, carb, you name it. I then noticed the noise went completely away the second i gave it gas. So it only came during idle. I looked under the car and saw that transmission fluid was leaking from between the converter and transmission so I figured I blew my front pump. Would that have caused the clanging sound?
