I had a similar sound from mine after changing tranny mounts, it was the
corner of the driveshaft arch (Which I had obviously leaned on a little
during tranny swaps) touching the driveshaft.

Subject: [Spits] Strange noise after swapping out transmissions
Hello listers, Once again looking for a little advice. I took the complete
drive train from a 77 Spitfire and placed it in my 76 Spitfire. Installed
a
new clutch, pressure plate an throwout bearing. Rebuilt the clutch master
and slave cylinders. The trans is complete with a j-type overdrive. After
completing the job, got the wiring correct thank to the LBC guru's from
the
forum. The problem is this strange noise when I come to a stop. The car
was
a daily driver before the swap and did not make this noise. The noise is
like a small screw or metal object has fallen into the brake rotor. I
noticed it on my first test drive following the swap but my initial
thought
was the throwout bearing was defective so I pulled the trans again and
replaced the bearing. I used a clutch alignment tool to check the
alignment
and it was good. I replaced the bearing and put the trans back in the car
took it for another spin and the same sound was there, secon thought was
the
finger on the pressure plate but then if the clutch is properly aligned it
should be ok. I looked at my rotors anddid not see any foreign material
lodged in the calipers or anywhere else. This is very puzzling and if
anyone
has run across this or has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate any
input.
Thanks
