Anyone have issues with Xfer case shifter?

[mctwist]

I recently had my J shift transfercase rebuilt and I re-installed it back in the bronco. I put the shifter back on it the only way it can go on (i think).
The problem is when I shift it into 2H the rear shaft spins like its in neutral and the front one feels like its in gear. (I can turn it but its very hard to).
4H- both feel like they are in neutral
4L- Both feel like they are in gear
What the heck is going on? I asked the guy who built it if he put it together backwards or something. He told me the gears only go in one way and he thinks its my shifter. Any thoughts???

You could check by getting it up on jackstands and seeing which tires move in which gear setting.

If the input gear is on backwards (yes it can be) you will not have high range at the rear. Low range would work fine.

To eliminate a shifter problem measure the distance from the edge of the shift flags to the shift rail boss on the tcase.

Thanks Viperwolf for the detailed pics. MUCH APPRECIATED. I am going to check this shortly. I am gonna kill this guy if i have to take the transfer case back out!!!

just checked the shifter measurements. They are correct Looks like some lucky guy gets to take my transfer case back out (that would be me)

Viper- Would you have an internal pic of the gear that I could show this guy so he knows what the heck I am talking about?? Thanks again btw

It's the gear on the adapter. It'll go on both ways but only works one way.

Was the gear in backwards?
