Also, no mention of transmission fluid in this thing. Does it even go into gear? You could also pull a transmission line and start it up and see if fluid is being pumped. No fluid-no transmission pump.
If it were mine, I'd disconnect the torque converter, rotate and slide it in until it is engaged properly into the pump. Then start the engine while its disconnected from the flexplate and see if the noise is gone. I would want to eliminate the transmission as a problem and then move on to the next thing to eliminate.

I will get pictures of the flex plate and bolts as soon as I can. I know there is transmission fluid flowing into the transmission because after I got the exhaust done both my lines on the passengers side of the trans were pissing fluid. Once I got them tightened up no more leaks.
After I check for starter hang up on the flex plate I will remove the bolts from the torque converter and slide it back. I believe the noise will be the same unless its the starter. As I posted in another short reply above "Before I put in the bolts into the flex plate for the torque converter I made sure to spin it towards the drivers side of the transmission to make sure that it was seated properly. Then after that I slide it forward maybe 1/8" so it would touch the flex plate to put the bolts in."
