Welcome to JKF.. Good group, with much knowledge and not shy. From your post .. what is going on with the transfer case? your JK, year, model, is needed info too

Gabejk

it’s a. 09 rubicon I was in some mud today I got kinda stuck so I put it tired to put it in 4wd but it went in and grinded loud so I took it out and a piece of little plastic flew at me so I got home checked it out it goes into 4wd h and neutral but no 4L and I have a jeep event tomorrow with a. Bunch of Jeep

Putting the TC in 4Lo can be hard at times if sitting completely still. Did you try to put it in 4Lo while at a very slow roll (like barely moving) and with the transmission in N?

yes it I did and nothing it’s very weird I don’t know if you can see the video but like my lever is all the way down

I don't see any video. Upload to YouTube and then simply paste a link here. I can't tell if this sounds like a shift cable bushing or not. To be clear you 1) you put it in 4Hi and had grinding, 2) put it back in 2WD, 3) a piece of plastic flew at you.....from where?

Currently the jeep will shift into 4Hi (and actually engages), N, and you can move the lever to 4Lo but it acts like it's still in N?

The TCases are tough. That grinding was simply the gears not meshing but did you try and force it? Best way is to shut the engine off in N and shift as it unloads all the gears. Resharp is asking some good questions but if it has a cable connection issue then it most likely will not shift into any range. Another thing is did you buckle up the cable at either end? If so get a new shifter cable. Do not force these things as thse cable connections are not that tough.

Check this video. good info on transfer case shifter:

I have a captive washer on mine at that end so the bushing can literally disintegrate and it stay on and will still shift. At the TCase end I got sick of that stupid plastic thing and drilled the pin out of the lever. Cut an 1-1/4 x 5/16" Gr 8 bolt off on the unthreaded part, welded it in to the lever then installed the cable end with a 5/16" panel washer on either side and used a Nylok nut. The unthreaded protion of the bolt was to allow the cable end to swivel on a smooth surface not a thread. That is the last thing on the Jeep I have to worry about now. and yes - it came off in the bush and some haywire held it all in place to get back to town.

When someone's first post is non-sense simply copied from old web things it wreaks of spam, and this individual is zero-tolerance. Thanks for playing.
