Has anyone had a clicking noise come from their tranny or maybe even the t-case?

When I slow down to stop, I can hear it clicking relative to the speed I'm travelling at. If I click it into nuetral it goes away. Nothing really changes in the t-case when you shift to neutral so I'm guessing maybe something in the tranny?

Front/Rear driveshafts are not the issue, i've removed both individually and the sound persists.

i would check the driveshaft ujoints. when in neutral it takes the load off the ujoints that may be why the sound goes away.

Well, like I said above, both driveshafts have brand new ujoints, and I've pulled them both individually and the noise was still there, no change.

Check the speedometer cable, or perhaps the speedogear, may be going bad.

I am having the exact same problem right now. I thought it was the front driveshaft and pulled it. Nope, still there. I only feel/hear it at real slow speeds, especially turning in to the driveway.

Sorry to bring back this thread but did you ever find a solution? This sounds a lot like the problem my XJ is having currently.
