Hi All,
I'm experiencing a couple of scenarios.
Lately, when I first take off at a slow speed and again slow down, I feel a nudge in the drive train like the trans is downshifting but it's still in 1st gear.
Don't know if this is transfer case or differential related but I'm trying to diagnose this problem. Anyone experience or hear about something like this?
When slightly turning in reverse, I also feel a rubbing sound like a clutch slipping.

Secondly, on occasion, when starting out on first startup of the day, I hear a light clicking sound around the front right wheel. It sounds like about 4 clicks to 1 rotation of the wheel.
That makes me think it may be the universal of the right front shaft where it connects to the wheel. I've seen a bit of grease leakage there in the past. It usually subsides after 30 seconds or so.

Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you done trans fluid changes?
