The Jeep is a 2003 Wrangler X. I have not modified anything on the Jeep, but a couple of years ago I had the dealership fix a problem with my 4 wheel drive. I believe that it was a linkage problem. I also had to have the transmission replaced when it was 6 months old and replace a head gasket a couple of years ago. This repairs were all covered under the warranty, however, the warranty ran out 4000 miles ago (70,000). Thanks for the reply.

I'd take it to the dealer and show them the maintenance records of the work they did and see what they can do. Be polite and professional, and see if they'll work with you.
4k is not much of a difference and perhaps they'll split the cost with you. Either way, sounds like you have just cause for a legitimate warranty claim that was never really handled.

That is what I was thinking of doing, thanks. One more question-would this type of dysfunction keep the car from starting? (it won't even turn over). Or could there be something else wrong in excess of the transfer case?

Likely they are separate issues unless you are throwing codes from the transmission that would keep it from doing so. If it won't even turn over, have you checked to see if you even get interior lights, head lights or radio functions? Bad battery perhaps? Bad cables? Bad starter? Lots of things that could be the culprit at this point.
