I have been reading this forum for a while but this is my first post. I was wondering if anyone can help me solve this problem. I just installed a transfer case drop kit. Not the best solution but it will have to do until I get enough funds for the SYE. I am having trouble getting it into second gear. Once it is in 2nd it will stay. All the other gears work fine. Has anyone had this problem or does someone know how to fix?
 
I'm guessing it'a zuk, but not sure. It sounds like you have a worn 2nd gear syncro. Does it grind or the shifter just stops and won't go further? Could be clutch linkage, but I'd think that would affect all the gears.
 
My bad rattlecan. It is a 98 TJ. The screen name has no meaning. It was working fine until I dropped the transfer case. I am assuming that it is now hitting against something or...I don't know.
 
Ah, maybe the shifter is hitting the body a little bit. Try taking the boot off and looking there.
