Some time back warp2diesel posted (
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=57790) a cheap fix to use if your shift cable loses it's connection to the transfer case shift lever. Since I could not locate a stainless steel axle snap nut (also called a push nut) at any local store, including Ace, I decided to give my friendly local DCJ parts manager a call.
Long story short as of July 2012 the plastic bushing (68064273ab) is available for $0.63. Working in that area is pretty tight given the minimal length of shift cable available to work with. While replacement of the plastic bushing (use pliers to press bushing out of cable end; push new bushing onto stud on transfer case shift lever; and use long screwdriver to press/pry shift cable end onto new bushing) the whole process would be easier (not counting access would be much better on a lift) if one unclipped the cable housing from the retainer just forward of the transfer case shift lever. However, the cable housing is clipped into place with a plastic retaining clip that may be easily damaged so if you elect to go this route get a spare cable retaining clip (68018106aa) for $2.33. Nice that I could get out of my very helpful local dealer's parts counter for under $5 with the retaining clip, a bushing to use, and 2 spare bushings (1 for me and 1 for stoutdog or whomever).
