My Ticking Disco Problem - SOLVED

Dropping the trans and installing new flexplate; I was charged 7.20 hours labor. $550. Maybe, a little high, but it saved me time and it's fixed. I'm happy
I supplied the flexplate from Atlantic Britsih: $45.00 http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/FTC4607.cfm

I think I have this "ticking". Damn, and i just dropped the pan about 3 months ago to install new timing chain seals and pan seals.
Wish I would have seen this then. Glad to know you got it fixed though. I would hate to have to replace an entire transmission over a failing 45 dollar part.

"Shade Tree job"? Not sure I follow. Haven't you ever heard of flexplates cracking in domestic cars. Happens all the time. Actually, I was shocked to find mine cracked. With all the chatter on here about bad oil pumps, slipped sleeves, and flat spots on cams; I was looking everywhere but at the flexplate.
