I hear a subtle ticking when my 2000 4.0 manual tj is in first and second gear over 1500rpm. The weird thing is I only hear it less than half time. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you all in advance

I'd be looking for an exhaust leak.

This is most likely the culprit. Mine does it too, I just ignore it.
