Hey guys, ive got a '95 cherokee with a np231 transfer case that seems to tick while driving. The noise has gotten progressivley worse over time. Also when i shift into 4H it seems that the front drive shaft does not fully engage, and begins to shake. A buddy of mine suggested the drive chain in the case may be loose or broke. Not sure what to think. Any insight would be awesome. Thanks! Wes.

have you opened up the case and looked? that would be your first step in seeing whats wrong with it........

I have, and nothing is visibly wrong that i can see.

a stretch chain would make a chattering sound. at least thats what mine did

Mine makes a noise that while moving resembles the sound of a bearing of some type. Im not sure why. Probably just going to have to pay the mobey for a rebuilt transfer case.
