Ok then the bushing in the linkage is broken as pictured above. Or at least 99.9 percent chance that's what it is. If u remove the four bolts holding your center console down under all that u would see the picture that guy took for u

Remember, there is the same bushing at BOTH ends of cable and on my jeep they both failed at same time. Thank goodness i was stuck in 2wd which allowed me to cuss at it at home instead of on the trail!
I made my own bushings and used stainless hardware from lowes so this will not happen to me again. The factory cable is fine, the little factory bushings disentegrate when u look at them funny. Aweful design.

Both of mine were broken. Martin Jeep in Bowling Green, KY was awesome. They replace both in like an hour and a half for 97 bucks. I think the next time I will do it myself.

mine broke as well
Was heading up a road my civic could almost be on came across a large stretch of mud, put it in 4-hi and when i went to take it out...... nothing I was stuck in 4-hi.
Thank you fellow Jeepers because of you I knew about this issue and had a basic knowledge of how to get it back into 2hi.
Is this install as simple as clipping it back on?

What end did it break on?
Under the Jeep it is "easier" to work with, make sure the exhaust is cool though, burns suck.
If it is in the JK it is a PITA but can be done in about an hour or so. Getting the shifter off is tough, don't punch yourself in the face. Pull straight up on it. A few bolts and you need to unhook some wiring as well.

I'm going to need to check to see if this is the issue with mine. I'm having a hard time getting from 4-HI to 4-LO, and once i'm in 4-LO, seems even more difficult to get it back.
