Does anyone know what the ratcheting sound is when you go from forward to reverse and back? It sounds like it may be coming from the diff.

Solenoids in the transmission. Normal. Next time you're out on the road...take a listen to other Chrysler vehicles... you'll hear it when they slow down. (Yours does it too)

Interesting... I've never heard any other ****** do that. I'll just tell the wife to turn up the tunes and not to worry.

Because there are actually squirrels running around in Chrysler trannys making them go. :^o

Actually, I have no idea why, but my 90 & 93 Dodges made the identical noise. It's a DC thing, you understand.

My last jeep you would hear it making air decompression noises when engaging the gears. Sounded kinda cool.

You can reallyhear it on the minivans., dont know why but the 3.0 was really loud. It is normal just the solenoid pack changing pressures in the throttle body to downshift/upshift.
