 1995 Corolla AE101 Death Rattle?

A nasty sounding rattle/clatter has occurred in my stocker 1.6 litre auto.(95000 klms) Getting worse by the day. Happens around 900 rpm and is loud. Appears to be coming from the gearbox end of the motor.When in idle sound is not loud, but putting in drive or reverse with foot on brake and revved around 900 rpm is loud.
As revs increased or normal driving, sound goes.
A dealership said he hasn't seen this particular fault on this model but thinks possibly cracked flex-plate, crook torque converter or broken-Crank!! (broken webbing on journals?)
But need to pull sump and trans to look ie 5hrs labour, then I'm stuck with continuing the repairs.
What do you guys think? any ideas?
or time for a low-klms jap motor?

UPDATE
It turns out the flex-plate is cracked!
The dealership recons $600 labour + $200 for a secondhand flexplate = $800 total.
Is this right, seems real steep???

LAST UPDATE
Now fixed, relief!
It ended up costing $400 Labour + $100 for secondhand flexplate.
The centre section of the old flexplate broken all the way around the crank mounting bolts.
I think real poor design....time to upgrade the car!

we charge $55 an hour and we build race cars and race engines from scratch. we have mill,lathes,tigs,migs,plasma cuter, etc etc and have the the top race engineers working with us all the time. so has no right at all to charge more than $55 an hour beside the fact they can and pull the wool over every ones eyes.
we would only let most not ALL dealer mehanics to sweep our floors in the workshop if you get my drift. at $55 that 7.2 hours to change a flex plate we would do it in 2 hours tops. find a good local mechanic its much cheaper.

p.s i did a egine conversion at home by myself in a ae93,changed
from 4afe to 4age 100kw and it took me 5 hours, thats with modifying water and power steer lines etc. so find a good local
mechanic.

Thanks for the advice...pity you're based in Queensland, need someone like yourself in Sydney.
Can anybody recommend a hot mechanic?

hey king mick i work in a dealership,TOYOTA. If you can do the job in 2 hours,i will pay you to pull my auto out change the rear main and front pump seal then put back in,ill pay what u charge at your work it should be easy its only a 2 hour job tops. I live in sydney but ill get holidays if your willing to to the job,i have no hassels paying u to do it as i couldnt be bothered doing it, but if your gonna do it for less than $200 thats $200 well spent and i get to see my relo's again,PM ME IF YOU WANT TO DO IT. ILL SUPPLY THE PARTS.
PEDROENGLISH :-WE have had a few Ford TX5's in for the same problem cracked flex plates,you usually get it from roll backs or dumping it into gear, but its maybe a one off we havent had a rolla in for a cracked flex plate in for atleast 4yrs.
