I don't recall any rust other than the normal surface rust on everything.
I'll check tomorrow in the daylight again to be sure. I saw the pic with
the chain in it and how it fit in there. How could it be rubbing anything?
Does it stretch? I did try it in 4wd earlier today and it seemed to act the
same way, with any pressure up or down on the shift lever causing a stronger
grinding sound. Man I just hope it doesn't explode like the one dude just
said his had done.

Before it explodes, or makes much in the way of noise, you may feel
it skip a tooth in reverse. I don't think that's what you hear. But,
your "chup chup chup" description, sounds very much like my chirp,
chirp, chirp, bad universal joint.

How does applying pressure on the shift lever work into your diagnosis?

I have the same problem and have been putting off replacing the
stretched chain. For sanity's sake, does the chain engage(turn) when
only driving in 2 Wheel High?
