    Hello everyone. New here.got an issue that I need help with. While accelerating in 1 and 2 gear I hear a squeal/chatter. It isn't while letting out on the clutch. It just started a week or so after a clutch kit replacement. Sound to be coming from around the transfer case. Any ideas on what it could be.

    Could possibly be a bearing gone bad, like the input shaft bearing on the transmission, or output shaft bearing on the T-case. I would guess the Tranny input shaft as that bearing gets a lot of pressure on it when stabbing the tranny and if it was already well worn it would be easy to damage it making it squeal with use. I had the same thing happen in my CJ.
