1984 GMC 1 ton 4x4 transfer case stuck in low range or neutral.
Can move the low and neutral pin with a pry bar to chance them but Can't get the lever to go to 2 wheel or 4 high.

Looked at some of the other threads and did some posting but don't want to keep high jacking theirs.
Thanks

unscrew the detent things at the top. theyre the 3/4 inch things on top of each shift rail. remove the threaded caps as well as the spring and ball in there. THEN, after that is removed will it shift?

I Removed lower detent (Gage)spring and ball and still can't move the rod in any direction.
This is the lower rod that is stuck and appears to be all the way out.

I can move the top rod in and out one place and that makes the truck either in low range or neutral but I can't get it back into gear (with shifter) with out crawling under it and moving it with a pry bar.
Not sure if this rod should move more than that.

How do I post pic or who can I sent them to that will post them for me.
Thanks
