Okay guys, I found a fix for mine. Try pulling up just a little on your 4x4 shifter lever. Apparently the bushings go bad in the shift linkage and cause the rattle.

I just did this 2 weeks ago 2 days after buying my jeep, the noise just came out of nowhere! loosened the inspection plate but revealed nothing! had to drop the trans and replace the torque converter, $120 for the converter and praise and good thing I have a friend who owns a shop, saved a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$ good luck!
