Sounds like the plastic clip on the shifter linkage broke. You can reach up there and manually shift it if need be. By up there I mean on the transfer case.

Yea it's plastic, if the shifter moves freely without engagement it points to linkage and most likely the clip.

Why?
Not vaccum activated like the older Jeep.

Have 10-15 of those plastic clips in the glovebox. Give them away to fellow JK owners. Only about 20cents each.
