Question for the Mud masses: what could be the cause of the lever on the transfer case being situated more aft than it "should" be?
It's been missing the guide plate since I've had it (and wont fit which is why the PO didn't bother with it). In the first picture it's in the 2WD forward position and the next pic is 4WD HI. It works in 4WD as it the transfer case locks but as you can see it hits all the way back on the hump.
I cannot find a good picture top down of what the linkage should look like if there's anything wrong so I'm hoping someone has an idea.
I was almost thinking I could move the shifter to the forward side of that other connecting lever/rod but there is also more linkage behind and I'm not sure if that would change how it engages.
