I was about to mention that. Getting direct linkage to work properly can be tricky. Supposedly there is a tab from a different vehicle that is a direct fit for this application. However, it seems most folks modify the shift tab exiting chassis, instead of the TC tab. The reason modification is needed seems to be that the 'throw' (distance lever travels from indexing once) differs from TC tab and chassis tab. The two throw distances need to be equaled.

We had snow this morning so used the XJ to drive the wife to work. The roads were very snowy and slushy so I just left it in 4WD except when making hard turns. I experienced no problems, didn't feel any binding or any issues.
