Stuck in 4L??
 

Used my 85 CJ7 to pull some downed trees out of my stream. I locked the
hubs, put her in 4L and pulled away. No problems. I took it out of 4L
(very hard shift) and drove off. Now it drives like it's stuck in 4L.
30MPH in 5th gear. What happened? How do I fix it?

Hi Joe,
In the future back up a couple of feet to relieve the bind between
the axles. But now it sound like the linkage has come apart if it's in
the two wheel position.

Obviously not out of 4L. Maybe a shift linkage problem. Can you get it to
neutral? There should be four distinct positions 4L, N, 2H, 4H coming from
front to back.

Is this an "aw ----" or is it something easy to fix?
