My 4x4 lever/shifter on my cherokee makes a rattling sound only when I'm in Drive and have my foot on the brake at a full stop. Could it be loose? Not sure.

 

Mine does this too, anybody who what could be going on here?

 

Welcome to the club... VERY common problem in about all XJ's. Mine does it, and the one in my dads does it. I just jeep pushing it down and it stops, but some day I WILL find a permanent cure for it, it drives me farking NUTS!!!!

 

yeah dude mines not too bad just rattles occasionally i just pull the lever up a hair and it stops.

 

Here is a link on another forum about this issue, I will on the repair wagon before I lose my mind listening to it rattle.

maybe check your motor/tranny mounts. I had a bad bushing on a trans mount when I idle but when i replaced it the noise went away.

 

Mine is absolutely, positively, my shift lever. If idling at a light it sounds like a rattle/knock. When I barely push down or pull up on my lever it stops immediately.

 

just take some electrical tape, wrap it around the contact part of the handle 4 or 5 times, problem solved!

 

Just picked up the fix from the dealer. Note sure what the part number is right now. It was $20. It is a new bushing and a few extra other parts. The parts department knew about it. There was a service bulletin on this issue back in the day. I hope to install it tomorrow morning. One of the techs at the dealer told me it was a fairly easy job. I looked under the rig and it does look pretty easy.

 

I bought the parts for the TSB this week and took care of it today...I couldn't take the rattling anymore. Took a good hour and a half start to finish, but it's done and the rattling is GONE!!
