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!!
