In 2 wheel drive when I am driving and let my foot off the accelerator I hear this horrible noise that sounds like I am putting my transmission in gear without using the clutch. It is a horrible grinding noise coming from either the transmission or the transfer case. To make the noise stop I would either give it more gas or push in the clutch. It all happened after a night of off-roading. My transfer case has a leak and the fluid got low for a while, but even after I topped it off it still made this noise. I cannot tell if it is coming from the transfer case, the transmission, the driveshaft (front or rear) or anything else. I drove it in 4 wheel drive and I didnt hear the noise at all. If anyone has had this problem please help, I cannot figure this one out.
Oh and today it started to make the noise with the clutch pushed in when I was downshifting, I pushed in the clutch and downshifted from 3rd to second and when the clutch was still engaged it made the grinding noise, before it was only when I let off the accelerator.
All I have done was change the fluid in it, how would I go about inspecting it without taking it all apart? or is there a way? As I pulled into my driveway tonight I was going about 2 miles an hour with the clutch all the way in and when I downshifted from second to first to go up my driveway it made a grinding noise. Like I said I was going about 2 miles an hour with the clutch all the way in. I originally thought my problem was the transfer case, but this makes me think it is something in the transmission....I dont know
