Stop and pop noise in reverse 2011 JK

[Ccahill0809]

So I've had a 2011 JK sport since October of 2020. 80k miles. Not once have I had an issue. Today backing out of my parking spot the vehicle came to a complete stop. Put it back into park then reverse again...moved a couple feet...complete stop again. This time park then drive...no issue....went into reverse a 3rd time and there was a loud pop sound. Was able to resume reverse and then shift to drive. Drove without issue or sounds about 3 miles to work...seems to be reverse gear issue...familiar to anyone?

Have you checked the universal joints, most likely it would make a noise in forward also but might be worth looking at.

Also check your passenger side motor mount, if it is bad it will let the passenger side of the motor lift in reverse.
