clicking/gringing

I just got the motor put back in the bronco after a new valve train. Of course, lots alot of tranny fluid in the process. put 2 quart in cause thats all i had around. drove it for a day, didnt slip or anything so i forgot about it. Well friday it started making a clicking/grinding noise. It realy sounds like its coming form the torque converter. I checked it, and the tranny took 1 and a half quarts to fill it, but still the noise.
I only hear the noise when its in gear not moving, or barely rollying. No noise in neutral or park, and as soon as i hit 10mph + it goes away. checked the converter bolts, and all are tight. any suggestions?

no, it sounds like someone trying to down shift to first in a granny tranny while its still rolling, like a actual grinding.
