I recently purchased a 2003 Wrangler Sahara. 4.0L 6cyl, 5 speed manual transmission NV3550. It has a rumbling noise when idling in neutral. Might still make the noise when driving but can't hear it over engine and road noise. The noise stops when the clutch is pressed. I come from a mechanical background so I think I know the cause, but would like another informed opinion. I think it's the transmission input shaft bearing or possibly a counter shaft bearing. Wondering if a the clutch throw out bearing could make this noise. If the throw out bearing, I would think the noise would happen when clutch is depresses and not at idle. But I could be wrong.
Anyone run into this, or have knowledgeable opinion?
