Now I put it back together and im stuck in 4 wheel drive. Not only that but the 4 wheel drive shifter is loose. It will go forward and back but i can tell its like its not connected to anythingHave I just un hooked the linkage or something? I dont know where to check/what to check. Does the console just snap together other than the screws holding it together at the back on the sides?I kinda need the Jeep tonight so hopefully somebody can help me out.Thanks in advance No more Jeep :bawling:Save ShareReplyjeepboyjeepboy·RegisteredJoined Jan 17, 2010·45 Posts#2 · Jun 12, 2010Check your cable at the transfer case linkage on the left side and see if the cable has popped off. If it has, pop it back on and use a small tie strap on the outside of the linkage to secure.

You can put it back on without the snap bushing to be able to put it in two wheel drive or if your hands are strong enough you can flick it to the correct position.When you have them order the snap bushings get extra ones for the glove box since they are only about .40 cents each.I still think a aftermarket connection device needs to be developed, I would prefer a cable with metal ring ends and not plastic. Sometimes when you REALLY need 4wd and specially 4low it's not always in the cards to be "rolling" to softly engage it like a soccer mom. It needs to be like my pecker so I can jerk on it when the need arises! 2008 JK 4Dr RubiconStone whiteMygig W/Uconnect working.Hard top/Auto trannyFirst mod, dog slobber.Painted hard topSpidertraxx 1.5 spacersTeraflex 3" liftCurrie front lower control armsJKS front and rear adj. track barsEuroefx HID kit, high/low beam and fogsShrockworks rear full width, tire carrierPost count from the "other" place when i was following the "herd" was 692 on 4-2-09, not a noob...:stirthepot:Save ShareReplytkob1060tkob1060·RegisteredJoined Jun 20, 2009·7,277 Posts#5 · Jun 12, 2010 (Edited) rob4607 said: It's a hell of alot easier to crawl under and feel for the cable dangeling than removing all that stuff, specially since the mass concensus has had the connector pop off/brek at the xfer linkage itself. !

I'm pretty sure others have broken the linkage under the console, unless that was just for the auto shifter.

Got it back where its supposed to be, now how do i keep it there for good or is this going to be an ongoing problem.Is the "snap bushing" They white colored plastic bits that were torn up on the stud that the cable end slides over? Can I get these at a parts store or am I going to have to get them from the dealer?Thanks guys for the help. Sucks though because now Im soaking wet since its pouring rain and I dont have a garage. Somehow dripping water off of a vehicle allways manages to find either my eye or my ear. :pissed:Now its time for a beer!

(It's an utter POS design, thanks again, Chrysler.) Get a couple new ones from the dealer.FWIW, I took a new one, carefully sliced the end off and used an "E" clip pushed on over the pin on the transfer case lever as a retainer. No more trouble.

The parts guy was totally lost because there wasnt a picture of the part so he ordered two different ones that didnt have pics to see which one it was, even though I told him it was the transfer case cable retainer (or whatever it was actually called)I pulled the Jeep up on my block/ramps and unbolted the skid plate and that made it really easy to pop the piece in the cable and slide it on.It broke me up though, I got two of them for a whole $0.64 :laughing:Parts guy said it was the cheapest thing hes ever sold.On a side note, while I was there a lady came in who had bought spark plugs for her truck, got them home and they were used plugs :shaking: They were speachless but gave her a refund and the parts manager got to go back and check ALL of the spark plugs :laughing: No more Jeep :bawling:Save ShareReply1 - 13 of 13 PostsJoin the discussion
