It sounds like the transfer case linkage needs adjusting. Do you have a body lift?

#1847 of 1886 Shifting into 4WD and 4W L by skyking49

Apr 11, 2011 (12:27 pm)

I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler X Manual Transmission and have gotten different answers to my questions in other forums. Do I have to press the clutch pedal when shifting to 4W HI or LO and does it have to be in neutral?
 
I know I can shift into 4 WD while driving under 55 mi an Hour but do I have to have it in neutral when I shift? That seems odd to me.
Can I put it into 4 WD while parked? Do I have to have it in neutral or press the clutch in or both?
 
Same for 4W lo. Can I be completely stopped or must I be moving 2 or 3 mi. an hour? Do I have to have it in neutral and press the clutch in? For instance if I am stuck in a snow bank and cannot move, it is hard to get to 2 or 3 mi and hour.

You can shift into 4H (high) at any speed up to 55mph, although you may have to coast in neutral to shift back again.
To engage 4L (low) Jeep say you can do so while rolling slowly with the transmission in neutral and firm use of the transfer case lever.
Although it will engage 99% of the time, it will also make a horrible graunching noise 99% of the time too.
 
The kindest way (for the transfer case) is to stop, put the transmission into neutral and turn off the engine. Then pull up on the t/c lever to silently engage 4L, start the engine, engage second or third gear and drive off.

#1849 of 1886 Cause of Vibration with New Clutch by whataguy11727

Apr 12, 2011 (2:45 am)

I have a 2005 4.0L Jeep Wrangler with 6-speed manual transmission. The dealer installed a new clutch 6 weeks ago. The Jeep ran well following the installation except for the fact that the cruise control didn't work and the air for the heat/AC only blew out the floor vents for the heater. I went back to the dealer, and he re-connected the vacuum hoses which were inadvertently not connected after the clutch installation. After getting the Jeep back, the car had an extremely pronounced vibration, especially at 2500 rpms. The dealer replaced the clutch which lessened the vibration, but not completely, which I am experiencing at all speeds equally; it is not more pronounced at a particular rpm. What can be causing this vibration? The dealer seems to be perplexed at the solution to this problem.

Again, I still think the problem is the t/c linkage.
How were the driveline angles compensated for, motor mount spacers or lowering the transmission?
 
Either one will require either adjustment of the linkage, or the addition of a kit to extend it.

#1853 of 1886 2000 wrangler blinkers?? by ablez

May 22, 2011 (11:11 am)

My left blinker was working intermittently, so I turned my hazards on to see if they worked properly...now both blinkers and hazards wont work at all. It is not the fuse...not sure what the next step should be??? Thanks for any ideas/help!

Check the fuse box under the hood first. If all is good there try to locate the flasher relay. Can't recall wherewithal its at but I think its under the dash near the steering wheel. Usually a silver round dome shaped object. Ask to see one are the auto part store. They tend to go out occasionally. But are cheap and easy to replace. This is assuming all 6 of your lights are working and not burned out. The bulbs on the rear. Are 2 lights in one bulb. So the brake lights may light still even though the turn signal filaments are burned out. Try these 2 things first.
