2000 Jeep Sport transfer case lever broken
 

Symptom: When I try to put my jeep into 4 wheel drive the transfer case
lever just moves forward and back as if it was not connected to anything.
What did I (my son) break. My jeep is located at the river (our second home)
and I need to buy parts to fix the problem. What should I buy and how do I
solve the problem. I would buy all parts for lever and return those that I do
not need. Thanks in advance.

More than likely it's just a cotter key fell out, but you'll
probably have to support the transmission, and pull the skid plate out
of the way to have room to stick it back together:

Re: 2000 Jeep Sport transfer case lever broken
 

The adjustment clamp on the transfer case shift lever might just be loose.
They can loosen up over time. The clamp attaches the shifter to a rod
sticking out of the t-case on the driver's side. Check there first before
you buy any parts. If that is not loose, then check the key.

If you pull too hard on the t-case shifter, you can loosen the clamp. This
can be easy to do when you aren't getting it into 4Lo and keep tugging.

Re: 2000 Jeep Sport transfer case lever broken
 

Tim- You were correct. I dropped down the skid plate that seems to also be
the trans. mount and there was the linkage rod all bent and popped out of its
holder. I put it in a vise to straighten it out and then put it back in the
hole. Works great now. A time saving tip: Before trying to screw in the
larger outside bolts on the skid plate be sure to attach the smaller 4 bolts
that keep the rubber trans mount in place and then you need a floor jack to
raise the skid plate up close enough to get the larger bolts started. Another
tip: Dont let anyone use your jeep that does not know how to properly get it
into 4 wheel drive. I am learning and I thank all that responded to my
problem. Thanks Again!!
