While replacing my center console, I pulled up the 4WD selector towards 4LO/N/4HI area. Now, it seems sort of stuck.
I can movie it, but I just can't get it back all the way down to 2WD. I don't want to force anything and bent or snap it.
I just got this XJ and have never used 4WD. Does it not shift in and out of 4WD while parked?
I am afraid to drive it. But, will it be easier to push back into 2WD while I am driving it forwards?
Is there a special way to move this selector handle?
I noticed it has lateral play, and the shifter diagram has diagonal lines on it.
EDIT: I was able to move it back down. Not sure why it was stuck.

What should I look for when buying a used ring and pinion? How bad is surface rust? Is 20k a lot? I mean I know my stock gears last a long time but what about aftermarket 4.88s ?

I've got a 87 Comanche with a D44 rear.
I'd like to get a locker for it, keep myself from getting stuck in the mud as easily.
What brand should i get/ where should i purchase it?
I see a lot of guys on here getting spartan lockers, don't know how much they are on cost though. (I want an auto locker, not an air or electric one)
