My brother was out with me and I never thought mine was sticky, but I messed with his, and YEA mine had to be out of adjustment. Or, which I like better, I just off road the right amount!!! JK need to get of road a hell of a lot more.

It broke the plastic that goes around the cable it self to keep it straight to go into it self.

Please excuse my ignorance in this matter.
Can the transfer case be shifted in and out of 4 by hand. By crawling underneath and moving a lever or something?
So Judesign is it possible you could do a write up on how to change this part out? Thank you!
When mine was new it was an absolute pain to get in and out of 4-WD Low range. I must have ground the burrs off or something as now it usually slip right in and comes right out.

Not sure if you realize or not, but it even states in the manual (only reason I do it) is that you should be moving about 2 mph to shift it in low and have the tranny in neutral

This!! [emoji121][emoji121][emoji121] mine is almost impossible to shift when standing still. Moving just a bit is enough to get it to slip right into 4low.

One thing I haven't quite mastered is how to do that when I'm stopped, facing uphill, and want to shift into 4L. Give it a little gas to go forward and then pop it in?

Yes I read the manual, and re-read it. To tell you the truth this has got to be the dumbest effing thing I have ever heard of.
2 MPH with the trans in neutral, while attempting to shift the transfer case. Ugh huh, really?
Yep I have just about got it down. It just seems like you would want the ability to shift into 4 low when you need to use it, not before.
Its the kind of thing that takes practice to get it down.
Just remember to not force anything, ever.
Once you grind it a few times it seems to take the burrs off then she will slip right in. :cheesy:
Still waiting on somebody to post a pick of the part and let us know how to swap it out.
Got a big project going on in the middle of my garage and the Jeep is over in another garage or I would crawl under there and have a look around.

Not the right angle, but the bushing that breaks holds the ball on the end of the cable inside a bigger hole in the shifter arm on the side of the Tcase.
Follow the end of this cable in the pic and you'll find the shitty little plastic bushing

This one you can kinda see the white bushing. Look near the small end of the drive shaft flange.

Advance Adapters sells this to replace the crap plastic parts on the stock JK shift linkage. I broke the linkage on my old '08 JK a few times. Always used zip ties to temp fix it. The xfer case shifter in my '15 has always felt like it's binding and on the verge of snapping when I shift to 4 low or back into 4 high, but it hasn't broken yet.
Here's the advance adapters shifter upgrade.

Nice! This looks like a quality part.
Did anybody else read the directions? When I put my Adams driveshafts on I used red Loctite and ran the nut to 160 lbs. Was thinking when I did it "man I hope I never have to try to take this off again."
Thanks for the link HighOctane.
Also thanks JeepJeep75 for the photos.
