Gear Growling noise
I need expert help…
2000 TJ 2.5L has a growling noise coming from what seemed to be the tranny. Only shows up when moving but goes away when clutch is pressed. Happens in all gears, reminds me of driveshaft noise, speeds up and slows down with RPM’s. What I have done… Complete engine tranny & transfer case rebuild with new clutch and throw out bearing and new front wheel hubs. Removed front driveshaft and drove, noise still present. Serviced front and rear differentials and no appearance of wear or issues.
mods - 4.5in Rubicon Express lift with SYE 33’s BFG’s (mods present for years prior to noise)
