just today, my truck began to make a whirring noise from the flexplate/converter area. The plate has a slight wobble in it, maybe 1/8". I had a bad U-joint on the yoke end of the drive shaft and replaced it two weeks ago. Is this sound from the tranny, torque converter or flexplate? Any help is appreciated.
