Issues with NSG370 6-speed transmission shifting into gears

[Pullski]

Hey y’all...did a quick search and didn’t see anything on this topic...I have an 06 LJ with the 6 speed. I’m having issues shifting into the even gears because the shifter is running into the tub cutout. It’s only recently become a problem. It seems like the driveline is out of alignment, but I don’t notice any sort of vibrations or anything. What are your thoughts? Motor Mount? Inner shift boot?

Check the motor mounts and trans mount. Once the issue is resolved replace the shifter cover.

Has any work been done on the Jeep lately?

I’ve changed the trans fluid...other than that no (I didn’t drop the trans)

 

[Pullski]

Here’s the motor/Trans mounts...just saw this for the first time

You didn't recently install a t case drop correct?

Or a Body Lift ??

Correct...the only work that has been done recently is the fluid change

someone's been in there

Is the transmission mount there or intact? It would be behind that oval cut-out.

It’s in there...I couldn’t get a good shot but it’s all there...

Also side note, any ideas as to where I can find a bolt/pick to replace the one that fell out?

I'd drop the skid and inspect it.

pull another one out, take it to the hardware store and get one of the same with some washers to make up for the spacer (I don't remember spacers between my mount and trans, though).

There shouldn't be any spacers there which is why you don't recall

No spacers on mine either.

HUH! Well that makes a ton of sense as to why my driveline is out of whack. Typical of the other southern engineered BS that I’ve been cleaning and fixing as I’ve seen it. Looks like I’m now due for a SYE and a new trans mount
