So after paging through about 20 pages of previous threads, I couldn't find one that answered my question. So here goes:
I rarely drive my stock '84 FJ60 offroad in 4wd (about twice per year), but I put it in 4H at least once per month and cruise around for ten or fifteen minutes just to keep everything lubricated and to test the system. I recently attempted to engage 4L and was unable to engage the system. From 4H the transfer case shifter just pushed all the way over to the right with no resistance. It would not enter neutral or 4L. When I pushed it back up into 2H the shifter also pushed all the way over to the right with no resistance. I'm guessing this is a linkage problem of some kind. Anyone have any thoughts?
