Started off very randomn, and obviously got to the point where up in the air trying to find it (and checking flywheel, hence the flywheel cover removed) starting it up for a listen and bingo as they say. Only experienced it once on that car. I think it was only virtue of the fact it was up in the air and running that we finally located the sound. Changed starters and all was quiet again.
I put in a new starter and unless what you say can happen after some time ,,then I guess I doubt this is the rattle.. because this rattle started after I put the rebuilt tranny in.. and the starter was put in before that..
