I have a 2001 TJ 4.0, with the clutch OUT it sounds like there's marbles rolling around or rattling, when I push clutch in it goes away. And unless I use a little more "force" than I should have to, it will grind going from 1st to 2nd. My initial thought was throw out bearing, but now I'm second guessing myself after reading through all the forums. Some people say it's normal that the TJ "just does that" which I've had a couple Jeeps in my life and never had one that sounded like this and it was "normal". Some say just swap out transmission fluid, some say clutch. I just don't want to go spending money I don't need to.
