XJ transfer case linkage question
 

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

thanks
paul

For the same reason that the starter drive gear on my snow blower
decided to explode yesterday. Sure I can still start it with the rope
starter...

My first concern would be that the bushing and assorted snap ring and other
stuff isn't bouncing around in the TC

That is a concern - I haven't heard any funny noises - yet and I believe it
is connected to the side of the transmission not the TC as originally
posted.

Unless I'm reading you description wrong, you are referring to an exposed
pivot shaft that fits into a bracket that just hangs off the tranny/tc. If
I'm right, the slotted end of the shaft fits into a nylon bushing that is
popped into the bracket. Damned if I know where to find one, but it should
be available for a few cents (or a couple of bucks at the stealership).
The bushing snaps into the bracket then the shaft pops into the bushing.
Takes a fair amount of force for either part, so lube them well before you
start.
