Ok gents, this one has me perplexed. a week ago I broke the cable to my T-case shifter, I to play around with it but finally got the T-case to go back in 2wd, or at least i thought. I bought a new shifter assembly and installed it and to my surprise, the shifts are completely off.

The shifter is suppose to go 2WD->Part Time->Full Time->Neutral->4Low

instead, it does this Part Time->Full Time->2WD->Neutral(but the 4Low light is on)->4Low(with light still on)

I don't understand how this can even happen with the mechanical shifter we have and I am absolutely perplexed on how to fix it.

Are you sure you got the correct shifter assembly for your transfer case, there were two different transfer cases & shifters used on Jeep CRD's.
1. With [Selec-Trac Full Time 4WD System]. Part Number: 52129243AG

2.With [[Command-Trac Part Time 4WD System] and / Or Man Shift-on-the-Fly Transfer Case]], Part Number: 52128999AH

If your not sure which one you have,
Go to this web page and plug in your VIN number and it will produce a "Build Sheet" for your vehicle.

The build sheet will tell you which transfer case you have.

The shift cable didn’t change the shift pattern. It’s just a cable.

Yes. That is the correct shift pattern.
For the moment, ignore the indicator light. That’s a separate issue.

It seems to me that what you are experiencing is the shift mechanism inside the transfer case is getting hung up between positions.
It’s a common problem.
To prevent this, make sure that every time you move the shift lever the vehicle is rolling forward in NEUTRAL.
Shifting while stationary is guaranteed to cause a hang up.

I test my transfer case by jacking all 4 wheels off the ground, engine running in gear, then shifting to N, before working the shifter through each position.

After much research and playing around with the jeep, it appears its just the lights are off and the T-case is shifting into the correct gears.
