Mine is somewhat tricky... Try from a stop. Foot on brake go into neutral then give it a shot. She should go thats usually how mine goes in for me. Good luck!

May want to check the linkage next to the transfer case. It's adjustable and yours may have slipped or been previously misadjusted. Simple to check.

Check linkages, I have seen change fall into the shifter area and cause them to not move. I dug 2buxs or so outta mine.
