2007 Rubicon, manual transmission - this morning I tried shifting into four wheel drive (4H) and the shift stick is very loose, not feeling anything engaging? thoughts??
You answered my question fast, thanks.Let me start out by saying that the bushing is an easy fix. It is simply snapped into place in a round hole on the end of a cable and then the cable and bushing are snapped onto a pin.
What you will need is this part from the dealer, it costs about sixty cents.
P/N 68064273-AA
Now to find some pictures:
To find where under your jeep that this is, crawl under from the driver's side about at the driver door. Look for the transfer case and on the side of the case that faces the driver side of the jeep, you will find what is in the picture above. It is just above the exhaust pipe and if you just shut the jeep off exercise care around the hot exhaust. The picture shows the linkage disconnected from the place on the shifter lever that it goes on and I see no bushing in the hole at the end of the linkage. The bushing is made of white plastic.
This picture shows the linkage placed on the pin. I still see no bushing. Placing the linkage on the pin will allow you to temporarily use the shift lever to get the transfer case into 2wd for use on the road if you were in something other than 2wd.
Look at the shape of the bushing. You will see which surface goes towards the pin. Just snap the bushing into the round hole on the end of the cable and then the bushing pushes onto the pin and snaps into place.
Simple.
On price, I picked up four from my local dealership at I believe 57 cents each.Off Road King said:I need to get those things, how much are they, part #, and how do I install them?
Thanks--I've got to wait until morning to take another look, but the pics so far have been helpful. Don't recall seeing anything like that this morning . . . If I can't find it tomorrow either I'll toss up some pics of whatever the heck it is I'm looking at.jk'n said:^^ I'll see if I can get a decent picture of mine. Give me a few minutes. I'll take a picture of the bushing from hell as well.
I could not find that cable on mine either, I looked after those first pics where up.Thanks--I've got to wait until morning to take another look, but the pics so far have been helpful.

That little thing is hard as hell to get to, I think I felt it when I was reaching up their...Below is a picture of the bag with the part number:

And the plastic bushing. Note the small square on the part of the bushing that will face outside.

And the place where the bushing is mounted. You should be able to make out that square.

I could barely get the camera up there to take a picture. The exhaust pipe is out of focus in the fore ground. Beyond that is the drive axle that goes to the front differential. The drive axle is what makes the bushing so difficult to see. It is almost directly below where the shifter lever is for the transfer case. I had to hold the camera above the exhaust pipe to get a picture of it. I had to slide under the jeep just behind the front wheel at about where the hinges are for the driver's side door.
Use the proper techique to shift into 4WD and you'll never need them. that plastic piece is designed to break so that dange is not caused to the TC.JK'n...could you be more specific? I'm JK'n (Just Kidding). Thanks for taking the time for all the details. I'm also gonna pic up a set and throw them in the glove box so I'll have em when I need em :thumb:
