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 s*it happen when it's 20 degrees out and snowing and poor me without a heated garage?
thanks paul
