You can manualy shift it under the jeep in the transfer case you can see where the linkcage fell off or broke. You put in neutral and shift it thru there and make it home or a shop to fix

Seriously!!!!! You'd think that such a small piece wouldn't make such a big stink and keep the whole vehicle down!

Got four. They tried to tell me it was overkill. My thought is it's cheep, it's gonna break, and if I run across you on the trail I'll give you one if you're in need.

Your telling me. I had to be pulled off a trail because I lost power, turns out after I bottomed out on a few rocks my battery terminals split, so when I stalled, there was no starting it ever again. Put a red top optima in, no more problems.

Part number is 68064273AA





Solution: visit any hardware store, and get Metal 1/4 E-retaining rings.

This little mishap prompted me to look into a stronger aftermarket fix. I saw that advance adapters has an entire cable replacement kit, it looks strong as hell, but its almost $200. Has anyone seen this kit in person or used it, any opinions, is it worth it, etc? Thanks

This is one of the cleaner more pro looking fixes I've seen. Nice job! Frustrating to see one of us have to pay for a tow bill for such a cheep design and fix. Happens way to often.
