Twisted drivetrain

[Dreamin Wheelin]

Has anyone heard or seen an FZJ80 engine and tranny shift on their mounts? I am hoping to rule out a twisted frame. My transfer case selector is pushed towards the passenger side and is resting against the passenger side opening. The engine also does sit parallel with the radiator regarding the right side of the engine valve cover is higher on the driver side.

Are you saying that the transfer case shift lever is angled towards the passenger side of the console?

Yes. Well put.

Check your engine mount and tranny mount. Mine was doing that due to one of the front engine mount seperated..
