Need Help ASAP

[IJUSTWON]

Jus noticed a sound last night on my newly rebuilt motor, has about 5,000 miles on it since being rebuilt and last night at idle i heard a tapping sound coming from what sounded to me either the rear of the motor or the tranny. What could this be?? Also i'm feeling a vibration in the shifter. Can Anyone help me out?

It's very hard to troubleshoot a sound in the forums. You may want to take it to a trusted mechanic and have him hear it.

still with stock tranny?
take it back where you had it rebuilt

Just trying to have an idea of what would be making the tapping noise whether it was coming from the rear of the motor or if it was coming from the tranny, what could possibly be the prob in both cases?

can you get up under the car while it is at idle? listen for yourself if you can and see if you can figure out the location. pull off the cover to the flywheel and see if its from in there, or maybe from an exhaust leak at the headers, or maybe the valve covers are not on tight... could be anything without a solid area.
