i have a 2000 dodge dakota 4WD. It will shift into 4H or 4L but once its in 4WD it won't shift back into 2WD. I have to crawl under my truck and manually push the linkage to get it back into 2WD. do i have to get a new linkage or does this sound like a transfer case issue? i just replaced the linkage gromits a month or so before this happened.. any suggestions would be appreciated

 

Do you have the mechanical linkage or electronic shift motor? Seems to me if you can manually move the linkage but it does't move on command, something between the 2 points has failed.

 

its a mehanical linkage. floor shifter. do you know if you can buy thr linkage or that whole setup?

 

get under the truck and have somebody try to pull it from 4 to 2. see if something moves an something else doesnt't.

 

floor shifter will flex but not move from where its at. nothing moves under truck
