Default 87 Cherokee pioneer 4X4 help needed

I have a 87 cherokee pioneer (4 cylinder, 5 speed manual). My problem is that my 4 high is not working. I bought the jeep this year in april and 4 high and 4 low worked just fine. A month or so ago I helped a friend drop the tranny and changed the clutch plate. I did not try out the 4 wheel drive after putting the tranny back in but I have had no problems. In fact it runs great and no problems shifting. I went to use the 4 wheel drive last night and pulled the lever up. the lever is loose and does not engage. 4 low works fine and i can feel it engage. Help!! what are my possible issues here?

That's what it sounds like to me, too.
