WITH KINDA NO CLUE WHAT YOUR BOOK SAYS EXACTLY. OVER THE COURSE OF GETTING TO THE PART YOU ARE REFERRING TO.

MAYBE THEY MEAN IT MUST BE IN 4 LOW TO DISASSEMBLE IT?

IF YOUR LINKAGE FELL OFF IN 4 LOW---CAN'T YOU LEAVE THE SHIFTER/ BUTTON/ K. NOB, ETC IN 4 LOW. AND PUT THE LINKAGE BACK ON---THEN TEST TO SEE IF ALL OTHER POSITIONS WORK CORRECTLY?

JUST FROM A "JEEP" STANDPOINT. LET'S SAY I'M IN 4 HIGH, I PARK IT, STILL IN 4 HIGH.I RETURN, AND UNKNOWINGLY, GREMLINS, MY BUDDIES, OR A COTTER PIN FELL OUT.I DRIVE AWAY.I GO TO PUT IT BACK INTO 2 HIGH. IT WON'T MOVE.

I CRAWL UNDER AND SEE ONE SIDE OF MY LINKAGE IS DANGLING. IT SORTA WON'T REACH, TO RE-ATTACH IT.I MOVE "MY"-"MANUAL SHIFTER" SLIGHTLY (UP TOP, THE SHIFTER IS "SHOWING" IT'S IN 4 HIGH NOW) I REPLACE THE PIN (WHICH MIRACULOUSLY, I HAVE A SPARE!), RE-INSERT A NEW COTTER PIN. WAH-LAH.I'M IN 4 HIGH (STILL), I CAN NOW SHIFT TO 2 HIGH!

I FEEL SURE YOURS IS DIFFERENT---THEORY IS THE SAME?
