Possible clutch noise?

Anyone -
Just recently I have noticed a noise in the drivetrain. This noise occurs when I am downshifting or on the 'ride' side of the transmission. By that, I mean that I am not accelerating - the trans is in gear and coasting. The noide is a rubbing, tick, tick noise. It's hard to explain. The clutch has 40K on it. The clutch also seems to be in fine working condition, I haul a travel trailer with it - no slipping.

Before I drop the trans, does anyone have any past experience with this. Also, could it be a universal (only when coasting and downshifting?)?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum

Does it do it in all gears?
If you put pressure on the shifter while it's making the noise will it change?

Thanks for the Welcome!

I notice most when I downshift from 4 to 3, 3 to 2 and 2 to 1. It is slight when I coast in gear. It also does it in reverse. I'm thinkin it might be in the tranny.

Thanks for the help
