Do you hear it when the starter spins the engine over?
Yes..at this point I hate to even try to turn it over - doubt if it would actually
I'd pull the tunnel cover off 1st and have a look see.
Have it off and have been looking...don't see anything. Nothing changed (at least that I did) since it was running real well just a few minutes before the noise started
Are you sure it's the transmission making the noise.?
Sure sounds like it - definitely NOT coming from the front
In gear, forward or reverse?
Makes no difference, although when turning the motor by hand the 'clicking' sound coming from the trans does not seem as pronounced.
Or in neutral or constantly?
Tried it in all different positions while trying to start the engine - same noise. Really afraid to go on with it since I don't want to do anything to jeopardize the new rebuilt motor, especially if something would happen in the trans that would result in not allowing the driveshaft to spin - could damage the motor. I have no idea what's going on in there and have absolutely no experience with the transmission other than having just changed the cork gasket.

See answers above....my replies are right below your questions...thanks for responding. Hope I can get to the bottom of this. I really hate to give up now after so much time, expense, and work.
