Default Transmission not shifting

Transmission worked great then replaced transfer case now wont go into any gear. Feels like it is always in neutral.

Try shifting your transfer case into another "gear" and see. You may have gotten the shift linkage out of whack and now it's in neutral even though it might show it's in 2wd on your shifter.

Have already tried that. And still nothing. I can find all gears in both the tranny and transfer but still nothing.

You didn't do any transmission fluid changes did you by chance and the level is too low now to move the Jeep?



What t-case do you have? 231 or 242?

Used case or a new one?


Shift fork or your linkages should really be the cause of this if everything else is good.
Check all linkages and make sure it's all hooked up properly, especially the shift linkage connected to the body.
