Ive tried to use the jack push/pull nothing.

Why did you do or need a Transfercase drop, on a 2WD? You don't have a transfercase or stubby drive shaft to deal with. Are you lifted like 6" or something????????

You need to pry the trans over to get it to line up. Chock the wheels and get it in neutral. Use a pry bar or jack between the body and trans or use a ratchet strap to pull the trans over.

Loosen the rany mount bolt in at the center so the member can move around. you will put the trans and motor mounts into even more of a bind, if you don't
