OK,
This is on my 88 MJ (as I don't have the XJ anymore...I gave it to my son). 4.0, BA-10, 4x4, np231, 31's etc. etc.
Totally intermittent sound from console area. Happens at pretty much any time. Not a clunk, or a clink, but as the title says it's a CLACK. Not rotational, not dependent on speed orgear selection.
At first I thought it was the heater "crotch" hose in the cab flopping around behind the dash as it was disconnected. I re-connected it. CLACK still there. Sounds like it's just under the plastic inside the console (or just behind the ashtray area).
It sounds like someone tapping on the console with a screwdriver. No particular rhythm. Sometimes it happens right away, sometime only after driving for awhile, sometimes it'll happen only once or twice in a hundred mile run. Really started out of nowhere.
Doesn't sound dangerous, just annoying as hell. When I put a finger anywhere on or around the shifter or the front of the console or the TC shifter, I can feel the tap...any ideas???
