Before you start adjusting things check the rubber parts of the trans/tcase mount.

What Joe said, also don't forget the motor mounts. The trans mount can look ok but if the motor mounts are shot it can do this as well.

if its a BW then ignore this, but i had this problem on a Dana 20 and i fixed it w/ a twin stick conversion. on the D20 the problem is in the shifter not the tcase.
