X2. Redline MTL really made a noticable difference in my shifting.

Unless those people are just drumming up business.
And how experienced are they, not with just Jeeps but with the quarks of the NV3550?
How does one eliminate the former and verify the latter given "you don't know what you don't know"?
Very interesting read.

This is a small part of the article wrote in 2008. From https://transmissiondigest.com
On the surface they seem to be a real publisher for the transmission industry. After seaching NV3550 on there site i found a few more articles but i do not have access. Im not a subscriber. I almost want to pay just to read up on this. From what i was able to glean.
Do not let this QUOTE mislead you read the whole article. It explains exactly what you are hearing. And why there is no fix. But that doesn't mean its a failure ready to happen.

Again, I wouldn't worry about it if the transmission shifts fine and the noise is your only concern. Plenty of us, myself included, have had no issues driving with it in that state. It's well known to be a loud transmission.
No, just understand that what you're hearing is normal. You're driving a Jeep with a truck transmission, not a BMW or Corvette.

His TOB is new, and a bad TOB would have the opposite affect ... noise when clutch is engaged.

When I wrenched in the Army, the bearing would stop making noise when engaged and rattle when disengaged.
Nope, push the clutch in and everything goes quiet, the NV3550 is just noisy, particularly in neutral.

Of course, nothing inside the transmission is spinning or moving when the clutch pedal is pushed in which disconnects it from the engine.

When you push in your clutch, the slave cylinder pushes the fork forward and the other side presses into a notch and doesn’t move. Once you release, does it rattle again?
If so, it may be the retaining clip on the fork inside the bell housing. It’s like $1.77.
Just spitballing.
