Okay, I've been racking my brain trying to find the source of this god-awful rubbing chirp that has developed out of nowhere while restoring this Mustang. At the moment all of the accessory belts are off, and the harmonic balancer has been removed. Still barks like an angry monkey. Really high pitched, like CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA, ear-splitting noise. I'm reduced to removing the flexplate and checking for rub. Somebody also told me to check the torque converter, but I'm not so sure.
I have a video on Youtube showing an attempt to start the car. The rubbing action is more stretched and distinct while it's being started. When it's idling, the screeching chirp is fast and loud. Anybody have any ideas or experience with this noise?
