I have a GMC Sierra 1500 . Just ten months ago I had to replace the transmission . A little while ago I noticed a sort of clicking whenever I accelerated and then it would stop after the shift change , well I really didn't think too much of it . Now the clicking is clanking and it's much louder . I just took it to the dealership that replaced the transmission to see if they could tell me what it was . The service man diagnosed it a crack flywheel . What caused this flywheel to just crack .
The truck had just gotten to 100,00 miles when the tranny got replaced . I don't believe the job was done right .

if the car was to be tryed and started while the car was running and the pinion got jammed in it could do that, also a weak spot in the flywheel could have caused that.
