To start off I'll just go over the noises.
1. When I'm decel in gear there is a deep clicking sound, it is most noticeable in the 2k-3k rpm range but goes all the way until i push the clutch in. I have a feeling this is the transfer case, I've had this sound since I bought the car and the case is leaking a couple drops a week and it has all the indications of a leaking yoke with dried oil all over my exhaust. So I'm going to replace that soon anyway.

2. This one sounds like a grinding sound when I decel in gear. It is most noticeable at higher rpms like 3k-4k and is harder to hear as rpms go down. I have read that others have this noise once upgrading to a stronger clutch(fwd or awd). So I'm guessing its just chatter and to deal with it, but I'm just making sure.

3. This one started recently, at about 30mph to 10mph stopping there is a pretty noticeable click from something in the drive train. It is heard very clearly coasting to a stop out of gear in neutral but not so much out of the car only inside. If I take a turn in that mph range of 10-30 the noise will go away and comes back next time I stop. I have read this could be a CV joint but I'm not sure. I found my Inner driver CV boot is ripped a bit because I found a good amount of grease covering the area around the joint when I was swapping out some struts.

I'm hoping you guys can help figure out some of these noises with me because it's pretty annoying even though I'm used to them. I'll try and get a video but I doubt it'll be clear enough in the vid or without wind noise.
