Hey guys I'm new here to the jeep scene I just picked up a 90 jeep pioneer 5 SPD 4x4 the guy said the transfer case was just rebuilt but when I put it in to 4H or 4L I can't catch 1st gear thanks in advance

Welcome.

AND.......

Here's how the factory suggests you shift the transfer case and I've been doing this since these things were new and I worked at the dealership. Quoted from the owner's manual. The suggestions in ITALICS are mine.

"To engage, shift the transfer case lever from 2H to 4H while the vehicle is moving at any legal speed". I let off the gas, throw the lever, and then tap the gas and let off.

4L position: " To engage, slow the vehicle to 2-3 MPH , shift the transmission to Neutral, then shift the transfer lever to the right and pull firmly rearward to 4L".

To shift out of 4L, shift the transmission into neutral with the vehicle stopped, shift the transfer case lever to 2H, then to D if you have an automatic, or into first gear with a manual, and continue on.

OK now I'm still having trouble with 4L I hear it when I let go of the clutch but nothing

Make sure your engine and trans mounts are good, linkage is lubed well and then this:

I did do and the mounts are good I'm going to need to lube the linkage but I'm not getting nothing in 4L besides what is sounds like the tcase is spining

Watch the video and adjust your linkage then.
