I am back..ok, so transfer case is a 231, as i have 2H-4H-N-4L. I was able to move the tab on the transfer case one gear forward by hand, and when i move the shifter to line up as closely as possible it seems it would be in 4H , not 2WD. If i put the interior shifter all the way down into 2WD position, the linkage is off considerably, so this is why i am thinking its in 4H as that lines up the closest to the linkage . However i can line up the linkage by moving the interior shifter just slightly off (it has some play) and possibly get it reconnected. It is rusty though and i would likely need something to push it back in. Should i do that, or am i better off trying to get the transfer case tab to go the one more forward with a tool of some sort? I just dont want it to be all out of whack if i reattach it. I also dont want to try and move the transfer case tab forward and damage something if by chance it IS in 2WD now. It shifted fairly easily that one gear, i'd assume it should move with the same pressure to get it into 2WD assuming its not? I just don't want to break anything and not be able to get it into 2WD by tuesday next week! Also this is an automatic trans if that matters in how i got about it. Should it be in Neutral?
