Nervous Tick
B52BUFF:
For those of you who are not familiar with my jeep it is an 06 TJ. Lately I have been hearing a "Tick" coming from under my jeep while moving. It only occurs while I am moving and only while I am while I am in either neutral or have the clutch pedal pushed in. It will occur sometimes if I am gliding (it is in gear but my momentum is greater than that of the gear I am currently in. In other words, the transmission or not under load) I am hoping it is just the clutch but I fear it my be the transfer case. If I put it in 4WD it is less likely to occur. Any ideas?

slack in the chain in the tcase maybe
Mr Rock:
is it just a tick or is it a continuous ticking? this is hard to diagnose without actually hearing it. a tick usually comes from a u-joint in the driveshaft, or the front axle
B52BUFF:
It is a continuous tick as long as I am coasting. If I apply power it goes away. I was thinking maybe a bearing. I am going to have to get it up on jacks and listen to it.
B52BUFF:
The tick speeds up as I accelerate
