HI tnredsoxfn, welcome to AMHD :)
Is car moving when you hear this clicking?
My Dad's wire wheel hubcaps useta click when moving.
Some brake pads click when in need of replacement.
Worst case?. Bad U-joint.

Thanks for reply... no not brakes... not wheels... whenin idle...
I'm positive its something to do with transmission.. im just not sure... maybe torque converter...
I'm sure its not motor... wheels.. nor u joint.

Your welcome
Try googling car sounds or similar.
I'd have to look for it, but I think? I have a link like that, but it would take me a while to find it.
It would play actual .wav files of diagnostic car sounds

You may have a cracked ring gear/flywheel.
Over time, the area around the crankshaft mounting bolts becomes brittle and cracked. While it's very difficult to see those cracks, an experienced ear can be a vital second opinion.
