You may have a broken tranny mount or you need a tranny service. How about your u-joints? (check all including front axle). Bad TPS? (I don't think you would have grinding noises for this).
 
everything seems to be tight the front driveshaft U joints look kinda crappy but i dunno. i noticed if you try and turn the driveshaft the front one will move back and forth a little but the back wont. is there suppose to be a little play in it?
 
you're running dex III right? a lot of auto parts stores and shops will try to sell you atf+3 or atf+4 which will FUBAR the AW4 in a hurry
 
ok so i pulled out the front driveshaft to see if that helps and one of the u joints just falls off so i know those are messed up but the vibs seem to be gone but it still seems to be shifting harder than id like so im thinking the t-case mount is broke.
 
Got pics?
 
just as i thought the vibrations and the hard shifting were gone they are still there. i took the front driveshaft out and so im thinking there is something wrong with the transfer case.
