Thanks for the info
* This is a audio clip of the actual noise.

The problem I was experiencing at the outset has dissipated, never occurring again. It would stand to reason that a driveshaft or differential gears could be part of the problem. We worked on some differentials, transmissions, and driveshafts years ago. If it were back then, I would guess spider gears, although I do not know much of the newer vehicles. Again, the torque converter has been known to clunk when moving the gear selector (Oldsmobile) > 'Normal'. I never had anything checked while under warranty for the problem never happened again as stated above.
How a service department could misdiagnose "broken teeth" is beyond me. I would have immediately asked to see the gear and which gear. My service department (Tasca) would never allow anything like that to happen without notifying me. It does not make sense. The issue you make mention of could possibly be related to the transmission as well; valve body. This is somewhat unlikely as the 5 speed is a fairly good transmission, only experiencing an 'O' ring issue; nothing other than that I'm aware of. Please keep me informed as I am most interested.
* I've never heard of a design problem relating to the aforesaid.
