Try the search function maybe you can get a picture of the linkage there will be something on it but it might take a bit of time to find I'll see what I can dig up to.

had to listen to the video more than once cuz it sounded like your exhaust at first.lol. i can tell you from what i heard when my transfer case went it sounded way different. the chain in mine was bouncing off the sides so it was a metal on metal sound. are you in 2wd or 4 wd when its making the noise?
