HELP!! I was driving about 15 MPH in a parking lot and something started clanking. I stopped and then turned the Jeep off. I checked underneath and I wasn't spewing fluids so I figured I hadn't blown up my motor. I got back in and tried starting the Jeep; fired right up and sounded ok. I went to put it in gear and in order to get it into first I had to push the shifter as far as possible towards the driver's seat. Without any pressure on the shifter it centers but is still at an angle towards the driver's side. I drove it a few blocks like this and was able to find reverse to get it into a parking spot at the shop I use. Has anyone ever had anything like this happen before? I have some ideas but looking for feedback.
1) The whole transmission rotated. This might be the most favorable as I think it is an issue with the mount.
2) The internals are jacked. This is bad but I don't understand why I was able to drive it. I've never cracked a transmission open to see if that would even be possible...
3) Shifter/tower issue. Possibly the most simple to fix but I don't think this is likely.
