I wonder if A PO just left it in 4H if it could have dusted a gear in the TC. If the selector moves it there, the disco is locked/clipped in, and everything but that works, 
Idk. Gotta wonder. I might drain it and look for metal.
Then 4H IS next to neutral.....No harm at looking at the engine mounts. Centered? If the Jeep were rear ended the engine could be rearward, putting that TC linkage toward Neutral. (I broke my mounts and the engine is forward from snapping a chain too hard pulling a log). Low is on the edge of the through now.

Do you have to loosen the bolt that's on the bar going (into?) the case? If yes, then no I haven't.

Quick question. When you shift the t-case into low using just the link in the pic, should the flat bar be close to the case or farther away from it?

Figured it out and it was kind of the above! Try $.16 worth of coins stuck in the shiftgate.

Really and truly I should have thought of it first because I had the problem of it not coming out of 4hi cause a quarter had gotten stuck in front of the shifter. And here I though I got all of the loose change out!
Now I think its time to enjoy a cold FM966
