Hey all - long time lurker, fresh poster here. Did the searching diligence but need to ask.

When taking off from a stop, after rolling a few feet I see my t-case shifter do a brief shake/wobble left to right. I'm not referring to the shifter moving around a bit due to driveline torque, I'm referring to actual shake, although minor. Lasts a second or less. Happens during light, moderate and heavy throttle application. No other symptoms are apparent.

Do any of you experience this with yours? I have tried to see if I can "feel" any physical shaking when this happens but after trying it a bunch of times the answer was inconclusive. My OCD probably pays attention to any and all pavement irregularities and feeling those, so I'm not gonna take those into account.

Bottom line is, not sure if the very brief shifter shake/wobble is normal or whether I gotta have the dealer look at it. 2019 with 12k miles.

I have a 2016 Trail with 27k miles and mine has done what you describe since day one of ownership.

Normal and nothing to worry about.
 
You should drive a Jeep JK with a manual.. that stick would wobble so much it’d smack your knee when off-road, absolutely hilarious.
