Thanks, Bk for the response. I think this might be my problem. It seems to occur when I have
driven the Jeep for a while and the engine/transmission has reached normal operating temp.
When cold, no noise. I was told by mechanic that the emerg brake cable needs to be replaced
due to stretching/chafing. Perhaps when he tried to tighten it, the brake shoes in the drum are
not releasing completely, causing drag and the chattering.

I had a similar noise a while back, drove me nuts until I found that I had the park brake adjusted a bit too tight, apparently it was dragging a little bit and would expand causing the noise (it sounded a lot like a chipped gear). Loosened them up a bit and the noise went away. I suspect that the dragging brake was not the source of the noise, but with the bit of drag, and maybe the park brake drum is not exactly true, when coasting without a load on the driveline, the noise was coming from the trans or diff as the load on the driveshaft changed. I was happy with that (I had visions of a trans rebuildOuch) Hope this is the same in your case.

I own a '47 CJ2A that is starting to have problems when coasting to a stop. If I take the Jeep out of gear and coast to a stop I'm hearing clunking/chattering sounds. Shifts fine through the gears
and have no other noises when driving. Any ideas?  Thanks, John
