Won't shift back to 2wd

[greenday9d1]

My '92 cherokee limited will not shift from part time 4wd back to 2wd. it does shift into full-time and 4-lo, but not back to 2wd. i've spent tons of money on this car and have had nothing but unending problems, so anyone can give me some advice so i don't have to spend more money, i'd be eternally grateful.

to to make the shift while your in loose gravel or sand, or some loose dirt. Sometimes the drivetrain binds on dry pavement while in 4wd and it won't release this bind until it has something loose under it.

make sure all your tires are at or near the same psi. solved my problem.

PSI makes a big difference some times. I also found with my 89 that pushing the cltch or even popping it into Neutral often helped.

had that problem. I believe it's called an acuator. on the transfer case were the vacuum lines hook up. pulled the lines and took it off. the rod at the end was stuck (looks like a big ball bearing). took one off of another transfer case,slapped it in works fine now.
I got the jeep FREE probably hasn't been used in four wheel for a long time.

his jeep is a '92 he said, it does'nt have a vacuum disconnect. Last year for those was '90.

Last time that happened to me, I put it in reverse on loose ground and what ever was binding, unbound.

It sounds like your linkage needs ajustment. In the meantime, get a crowbar and pull the little transfer case lever forward or into the horizontal position, it probably only needs to go about 1/4" forward.
