Default Pops out of Low 4WD

My 92 XJ pops out of low 4WD mode (but not High 4WD mode). I need to hold the lever to prevent this from happening. How do I make the proper adjustments? Thanks

The linkage to the transfer case is adjustable, but it may be rather rusty and seized up.

The instructions to adjust the linkage is in the FSM available at http://cruiser54.com/?page_id=365 - there isn't a 92, but the linkage is pretty much the same across all years.

If the linkage is too far gone to adjust, you can get an aftermarket linkage for a reasonable price.

This^^, and your engine and trans mounts could be worn out.
