Thank You!!!!! Finally someone shows exactly what to do... most videos are skipping steps.. Thank you!

great video!. just bought a 2000 TJ a few weeks ago, Took it out in the snow last night. It would not stay in 4H or 4 L. While driving. It would jump out of 4H and make a grinding noise (same in 4L). I saw your video, and made a quick adjustment to the linkage rod as you described. took it out for a test drive, Bam! fixed. Thanks for the assist!

Worked for me and I was real close to buying a Novak cable for $175 to resolve this issue. Thank you!

thank you, , got long arms added to 03 TJ with 22,000 original miles , no 4 low . I undid bolt, lubed all pivot points, went to the front and pushed it back into 4 low , moved 3/4" on rod , snugged the set bolt...she's right on.

7 years later, this is still very much relevant! Thank you for making this. It really did take a moment to fix it. To think I was looking for the install video for the cable link install. Thank you!

I just had a new transmission, clutch, and transfer case installed. I can get into 4 wheel low but I cannot get into 4 wheel night??? The gears grind. Any thoughts?

Thanks for posting! Definitely a much simpler fix than I thought! I'm actually the guy who posted about this on the forum a while back and just want to thank you for the help.

Amazingly quick and easy! Worked like a charm. Thanks.

Cheers mate, best vid of this problem I have seen

best explanation yet. solid video

thanks for the info. I was able to get mine adjusted after some work. fire is amazing at getting rusted bolts to come free. I took the whole rod out, sanded it down, made sure everything worked good, used antiseise (shit spelling) on the whole thing, readjusted it, and works like a championship now! great video thank you.

You just helped me fix my Jeep. Thank you so much.

exactly what i was looking for, thanks you!

Worked perfect! Thanks for the video!

Excellent video. Just did a new front diff on my 97 and this is exactly what is going on.

Very helpful! You helped me solve my problem.

Thank you. Worked like a charm.

Hot dayum....pretty sure this solved my problem. Bought my 98 TJ a couple months ago and every time I put it in for low it keeps popping out. I have a 3-in body lift and I'm pretty sure the guy before me did not adjust this. Thanks a ton!

Thank you. I'll be giving that a go this weekend.

Outstanding video, man!!!

Thank you! Working properly now.

Very helpful, sir.

Thanks...super helpful and easy todo! Time to crawl again!

Worked amazing quick fix thanks

Best video ever ❤❤❤

Did the trick thank you.

It worked...Thank you

Great advice thanks

This happened to an XJ I bought, it was caused by a poorly executed engine replacement. Got it for $700 , 1 owner 165k miles new bfg ats and it was a 3 min fix!

Get a cable system this linkage almost got me stranded once luckily I had a pair of pliers and a ton of will

Wow.... I am having this problem. I put in a clutch and all was A OK. Then I had to do something to the my Exhaust pipe or something and drop the cross plate again. Now I have clicking and jumping when I put it in 4x4. So many have said it the front wheels or axsle pop. I know what it is..... I was about to change the transfer chain. As soon as I get home I will try this..... I am almost sure this should WORK. I will repost when it's FIXED. THANKS A MILLION

Shift problem Jeep Wrangler 1997

Wow easy fix thanks

Good video

works perfectly except for going from drive to reverse pops it out again. adjusted it three times. ideas?

Thank you!!!

Great video but I have a cj3b 53 that won't go into 2wd only stays in 4 wd no matter how I move the shifters, is this an adjustment or do I have a tranie problem

Is the process on a YJ basically the same thing? I have basically the same symptoms you mentioned, mostly just grinds in 4WD, and the couple times it actually went in it seemed to slam in.

awesome,just can't reach it to push it back!Do I need to take the transfer case skid plate off?or is there a trick to reach it with something??

i have the problem where it will shift into 4hi but not back to 2wd. Should i adjust it like this or instal the linkage drop bracket?

Ok...I’ve adjusted the linkage as far out as it will go and 4L still isn’t engaging. I’ve got a 4.5” lift so do I need a longer linkage?

Wish this solved my issue went in to 4low a week ago, installed a body lift and now it won’t go in 4low, tried this it didn’t work anyone have so other options?

I have a 2003 wrangler and every so often it will pop out of 4wd high. I have a manual transmission. will this adjustment rod help?

My TJ runs in 4 low just fine EXCEPT when I'm slowly going downhill with the clutch pedal engaged....just creeping down really slowly on the brakes, it'll make a grinding sound. Do you think it's the same problem?

caution: I just tried this and now my 4 low is completely gone. It was grinding and popping out but now the Jeep is treating the 4 low spot as another neutral gear. All the other gears have been shifted so the 2 wheel drive is in the 4 high spot and the 4 high spot is in the neutral spot. I then tried to undo it and it hasn’t worked. I will try to update this if I get the issue fixed.

Hey is it the same fix for 4WD-H if that’s popping out? My 4WD-L stays in when engaging.

a lot of peoples problems are their shift linkage rod is slightly bent. adjust the main bolt that holds the tension or check that the rod isnt bent

My NP231 makes a whining noise after I drive 15 min. Goes away after car gets cold. If I remove the front drive shaft I have no noise

What if you can't get into 4lo

What if you can get 4wheel low but it grinds in 4 wheel high?

Hopefully this is my problem because my case doesn't go in 4L.

If you need the linkage for YJ: Part number: 53004338 Bushings to go along with it: 0357533 or J8132927; J3238418

I can't get mine out of 4 wheel drive now being told bad transfer case

I can't get my Jeep out of 4 hi now

did this and now i cant move the jeep, no part time lights on the dash and she wont go to 2h

Its an 8mm for those who only want to crawl under once.?.? Oh not really once. But I'm sure its an 8mm. Sidenote. Mine doesnt even shift with the linkage disassembled. But you can pick an np231 23 spline long shaft for about $300 on eBay. Local rebuild was $750. Thats a few bucks more than the 42re transmission cost to have rebuilt.

Hi I'm having a problem with my '99tj shifting back to 2wd, everything works as it should, no noises, no lift, 164000 miles, is it strictly a linkage run setup or is there vacuum i should be looking for. shifts from 4hi to 4low no problem just cant get back to 2wd. thanks for any help on this.should i try the linkage adjustment?

doesn't do the trick for me...(((

unless you are me who tried this with no luck cause the rod and adjustment holder are rusted like a bitch and now I will have to heat everything up, take it all apart, sand the living hell out of all the parts, reassemble it, and pray that I have 4x4 again. Rust sucks!

+turfwerks1 Rust is a major pain, I'm in Virginia where they spray the roads with every rust making chemical know to man. I'm sure it's too late to tell you, but using "KROIL OIL" and a wire brush to clean the threads makes a huge difference. I've used every spray that I can find to unstick rusty bolts, but the kroil out performs them all. It's a little hard to find, but phenomenal stuff.
