Nervous Tick

(1/2) > >>

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?

gearhead1985B:
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
