Post subject:  "grinding" in reverse

When I'm in reverse and start to accelerate there's a grinding/binding noise that comes with a slight vibration from the floor during the first few seconds of acceleration.

If I shift to reverse and don't step on the gas, there is no noise/vibration - only when I give it gas. So far I've yet to hear it while turning (so this rules out cv joints?)

This started up a few days ago and its become more noticeable. Any ideas as to what this is?

I was just curious because I have had some sound when backing in 4wd, but I have no idea for not in 4wd. Sorry.

I would check for a loose/rubbing exhaust component or heat shield. Also make sure that 4WD is actually disengaging, another good excuse to get offroad :wink:

Auto or Stick?

My tranny skid rubs on the exhaust. A grinder fixed it. You'd only notice in reverse when you'd hear it rattling against the skid. It does it a bit more now after Moab for some wierd reason. :wink:

I've had the trany skid rub against the exhaust already and this doesnt sound anything like that. I'll try and get a clear sounding movie tomorrow of this.
