Sounds exactly like a problem I had with my jeep - a ring type (spider?) gear in the rear end broke in half. Made e a clacking sound. As it got worse, every once in awhile the broken gear would jam and lock the rear end and I would come to a screeching stop. I had to have it dragged onto a transporter because the wheels wouldn't turn. Dealer wanted $1500 but I took it to an independant drive train shop and got new gears for $750. Also had a gear break in my Dak and that one made a sound like a brake drum with worn out shoes rubbing - metal on metal. couldn't hear it in neutral for some reason - only when in gear.

Maybe a bad motor mount allowing something to move and contact a bit ? Can you look to see what is going on with someone ( you trust ;0 ) holding the brake while in gear ? If it makes noise with the brake on like that you can listen to different areas through a pipe to isolate where its coming from too - might also be internal engine wear you can hear more under load.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way

tried that, but cant seem to figure out where specifically its coming from, guess my ear isnt discerning enough.
need to do it again and see if i can find the motor mounts to watch them.
any more ideas?
