Hello all,
Have an '01 TJ, 32 RH 3 speed auto with 123k on the clock. Just yesterday I started hearing the noise in the below video. It occurs when I am at a very slow speed or totally stopped in drive. I do not hear it at all in neutral or park. Also, if I change from drive to neutral and back it usually goes away until the next stop. It sounds like it's coming from under the shifter more towards the passenger side.
It's hard to hear under the jeep, but the noise appears to come from the area right behind the oil pan. I thought it might be the heat shield that sits right next to the shifter area on passenger side but I lightly whacked that with a hammer and it seems solid.

I checked the transmission fluid quality and quantity and they both appear to be good.
Any thoughts on what it might be? I've had it about a year and a half and haven't heard this noise before.
BTW
- jeep drives fine besides the noise. shifting is smooth.
- have a fairly new 4x4 cable shifter, fairly new trans mount (mopar), and brand new mini cats.
