Default HELP im stuck in 4WD...!!!

So i can see this is a common problem for jeeps and blazers. My issue is that i can shift from 4H-N-4L with no problem but going to 2WD the shifter wont budge. my trans makes no noise shes smooth in all gears even with 167,000plus, and the linkage isn't too long or beat up. Ive drivin it for 30 min or more like this to see if it would free it up and i have tried going in reverse then moving forward. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi and welcome to CF from Tj in NJ.Well it sounds like the rod is bent or out of adjustment. Go under there while someone tries to move the shifter up tp then look for what is binding up. Check your PM..I sent you something that may help...Tj

Take the adjustment loose and manually put it in gear then tighten the adjustment screw. That should do it.
