Dear Steve:

The clinking noise may be due to the reaction member(stator)having too much play and banging against the turbine. I've seen the vains nicked up from this. The ultramaitc should not make any noise. I suppose if the one way clutch shaft was brinelled it might make a noise as well, but Hydramatics will make grinding noises in the presence of torque converter end play problems.

As for filter service here is a Chrysler Part number

04446728

This is for a little magnet they put in their transmission pans to collect chips. I don't know if it will fit the UM but it might. It requires a locating dimple via a ball peen hammer. It can also be stuck to the outside and help keep the crud down.

Good luck with your car.
