Do you know if the car's been used in 4WD (any mode, LO or HI) on a solid surface? It culd be the transfer chain that's stretched.

Can you think of anything else? I suppose it could be a failure in the gearbox, possibly something worn on the input shaft that lines up properly when it's in gear.
I was thinking that in neutral, if the transfer chain was worn, the spinning of the input shaft could induce a small amount of motion in the output shaft anyway and since there's little resistance between the gearbox & transfer case, it could flop the chain a little. I've been wrong before!

Wasn't disagreeing, just meant that's a new one I hadn't heard before.
My trsansfer chain use to make a slapping noise when changing gears whilst in low range. I assumed it was normal as it always did from new.
Only if other noises weren't swamping it.
I'd get underneath with the front on jack stands in either 4WD mode and try turning the front prop shaft and listen to the transfer case.

I would be looking at the throw out bearing for the clutch. More than likely you will find the noise goes away if you push in the clutch. I know mine has had a noise since new and its the throw out bearing
hi everyone i have noticed allso that it makes the same rattle chattering noise when you down shift in gears when you push the clutch in to change down could this be a worn out clutch you think or linked in that area what do you fellas think?
