I've never noticed my t case lever moving, I'd crawl under it and check tranny / tcase mounts. May need to torque your bolts down a little.

Yes check your engine mounts they are probably shot or some of the bolts are broken/missing. The engine/tranny/xfer case are all bolted together so they will all move together, but if the mounts are good it hardly moves at all.

check motor mounts and trans mount.

on a side note, why are you always in such a hurry for an answer?

this is not the first time you bumped your own post in a few hours.

i just don't see a need to do that.
