There is a part called the Shifter Sheet by Suzuki. This rubber part sits below the shifter ball in the top of the t-case. When it dries up and crumbles away the t-case shifter can get stuck. A new part is only a few dollars and is easy to replace.
If you have this issue, you also probably have a sloppy shifting 5 speed transmission. A new "shifter bolt" will fix this issue.
I just did this in my '86 because the transfer case would not shift I had to remove the shifter and realign the two shifting rods inside to get it out of neutral. Pull the shifter boot off the floor. Pull up the transfer case boot under the floor boot. remove the shifter by using a couple of screwdrivers to push down on the ring around the shifter at the bottom and turn CCW (1/4 turn), this will release the spring loaded catches that hold the shifter in (don't worry you will not lose anything). When you extract the shifter you will see the 'ball' on the shift lever, the shifter sheet is what this ball sits on inside the transfer case. It is a cupped shaped piece of plastic like nylon and is often long ago disintegrated and missing, if not, pull it out and put in the new urethane or brass sheet and put everything back together. Hints: be sure to eliminate any burrs on the shifting ball that will cause premature failure of the sheet by filing them off.
A broken spring retainer in the shifter.
blown fuse under hood check all brake fuses....also could be bad relay at shifter u have to take shifter loose to replace at bottom of shifter
first most obvious, make sure the transfer case is not in neutral. If the shifter is stuck in one position you can access the floor panel over the shifter, then remove the shifter, sometimes when worn or loose they can become stuck and you can fix it by lifting the shifter out of the trans. Lastly, and you would probably already suspect this, the clutch is gone, but you would have had a lot of issues and slippage leading up to a complete failure.
your syncros might be worn or the shifter might need a new plasice ball on the end or the whole shifter needs rebuilt
The most common cause of the shifter to be stuck in park is a broken spring retainer in the shifter assembly. The only fuse that could cause that would be the brake lights fuse. If you have brake lights, it is not a fuse problem.
Check the switch on the brake pedal that allows the transmission shifter to move into gear. If this switch/cable is broken the shifter doesn't know the brake is pressed so it will not allow shifter to move. It is a safety feature... a good one too.
if you put the transfer case in neutral you will not go anywhere if you put the transfer case in neutral you will not go anywhere
It may just be a screw came loose underneath your gear shifter. That is what happened to me. Just slide the stuff up to the top of your gear shifter and look underneath. If one of the bolts is udone, just simple put it back on.
Yes it will. It has to work.
bad transfer case
