just noticed yesterday that there is an excessive amount of play in the
shifter(trans, not 4x4) while switching gears. even while in gear the
stick wobbles around quite a bit. I dont know if it happened all at
once, but i just started noticing it yesterday. Someone told me loose
mounting bolts on the t-case? any help would be great!


97 tj, 2.5l manual

thanks
Reed

 

Not quite sure of the exact symptoms you're describing but if you don't
mean a "sloppy" feel to the shifter and the stick is just moving around
a lot on its own, it's probably either a broken motor mount or tranny mount.

no not on its own, it does have that really sloppy feel, more than
before. There is a lot less resistance when moving the stick side to
side. even while engaged in a gear.

Hi Reed,
Your shift lever should be very loose, but not sloppy, like you
could put it in two gears at ounce. You may need the tower bushing,
