NP 242 Transfer Case Not running smooth
Hi CF, I have posted a few things about mods on here so far and am stoked with the replies that i have gotten, thanks heaps 
I was out wheeling the other week in state forest near my house (australia) and banged the jeep on a rock ledge as i was climbing over it (have a video of it if you guys need it) and now the gear lever is slightly angled. i am guessing that the rock somehow bent the subframe and knocked the transmission (1999 auto) out of allignment.
anyway, now the gears are not as smooth as id like and there is abit of a kick once i go over around 60km/h (roughly 35-40mp/h) which is i think going into 3rd or 4th gear.
any ideas on what could be wrong?
as always, any help is much appreciated

have you looked under it? look for damaged unibody, crossmember. is there damage to the transmission like dented pan, was the transfer case damaged?

yeah had a look under, sub frame is bent but that was from before it was lifted and there are no obvious dents or damage
