This is really ticking me off and I'm fed up with lying in the dirt wrestling a stupidly designed rod back into a bracket.
The manual transfer case shifter in my LJ routinely fails to shift because one end of a rod pops out of a bracket attached to the transfer case, leaving the lever unusable. The other end of the rod is inserted in a bracket attached to the body which twists relative to the transfer case and seems to pull the whole thing apart.
A spring looks like its supposed to keep tension in the rod but it doesn't seem to do the job and the rod pops out either between 2hi and 4hi or, more usually, between 4hi and 4lo. In all cases leaving the transfer case in neutral.
Does anybody have a quick homebrew fix for this?
