Could this be the starter gear hitting the flywheel? Or is this a transmission problem. The noise is coming from the driver side rear of motor and sounds sort of like a wrist pin knock. Noise goes completely away in reverse gear (Automatic) at idle. Is the starter gear not completely dis-engaging or is the problem inside transmission? I opened transmission inspection cover and checked torque converter bolts, they are tight. I hate to buy a new starter if this has no chance of fixing problem. If it is the starter, can the noise go away in reverse? This is what I am not sure of.

sounds like broken planet gears in transmission// good way to find out // jack car up with all tires off ground put mechanics stethascope on center of transmission above the pan listen to hear where noise is coming from also listen with steth on bottom of oil pan where ever greatest noise is where problem is
stethscope will save lot of time and let you no xactly where the prob is// if there is a way to disconnect flywheel from trans // another way to check// unbolt torque convertor from fllywheel
check for noise // goodluck

this is a problem with the transmission the starter is on the pasanger side of the vehicle so i would say that your transmission is going out
