The shaft that runs through the trunion on the transfer case linkage of my wife's 95 XJ (I6 - auto) has 'slipped' out of the pivot point that it attaches to on the transfer case side.
It appears that there is a snap ring type groove on the end of it. The shaft also goes through a hole that obviously had some bushing in it as the diameter is approximately twice that of the shaft. Said bushing is gone.
I was able to put the shaft back into the TC hole and shift back in to 2 wd hi.
How can I repair this? Is there a snap ring inside of the TC that holds that pivot shaft in place?
And why oh why does this shit happen when it's 20 degrees out and snowing and poor me without a heated garage?
thanks paul
