ticking from torque converter
i have a 97 e320, 140k miles with the 722.6 transsmision. for a while now, sometimes in cold starts (when it's cold) i hear this little ticking from underneath the car. you have to concentrate in order to listen to it. at first i thought it was coming from the engine, an oil lifter or maybe the air pump. i had my mechanic listen to it and he traced the noise from the torque converter, but everything looked fine there, no leaks and he tightened the bolts more to see if the noise would go away. the car shifts and drives smooth like it did 10 years ago, no codes, everything seems good.
what do you guys think, what could this be???

no, actually i heard it once for a little bit, but hopefully it won't tick again. the weather has warmed up the last days so can't really tell now, will see when it gets colder. i was suggested that the cats could make the noise and it resonates in the torque converter.
