Is it a polyurethane mount? I have some play in mine, but I have been putting it off until I build a belly up skid and make my own mount.
Roger- do you have a Motor Mount Lift? I know you have the body lift and adding a MML would decrease the drive shaft angle and "should" help. Footman runs the Brown Dog MML and I have the M.O.R.E. ones, both are very well built. I would avoid the spacer type only because your Jeep has so many miles and the stock MM could probably stand to be replaced. The MM could also be contributing to the shifter problem since the MM and transmission mount work together to keep the drive line centered.

My Jeep already has a motor mount lift in it and if I remember right they are Brown Dog brand. I've never messed with the trans mount though so I don't know if it's ever been changed or not.

have you checked into the slop you were having yet in the tranny?

I've tried pushing on it and I can't get it to move without the body moving, but I know the force I put on it is a lot less than the engine and the welded rear axle. I took a break from work and got the rear driveshaft changed out tonight over at Will's garage and it was definately shot. Vibration is gone now. The trans mount is only about $40 from autozone so I may switch it out sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas just for safe measure. I'll also check my motor mounts.
