Re: 4WD problems on '95 YJ
 

Just plug the line going from the engine to the transfercase switch.
Should be a black plastic line heading off from the very back of the
engine on the driver's side.

Re: 4WD problems on '95 YJ
 

If you wish you could bypass the vacuum system with a manual disconnect.
Engages and disengages the front axles using a cable instead of that
troublesome vacuum system. You can find them at Quadratec under posi lok
brand name or you can make one if your MacGyver.

Re: 4WD problems on '95 YJ
 

Agreed. I used a power take-off cable with a solid core thick enough to
push the fork without the aid of a spring. It's nice to be able to feel
the fork moving as opposed to just releasing tension on a soft cable and
wondering if the spring has done its job.
