Hi mbunch33,

Most probably the 4 X 4 gear shift bushes are worn and the gear lever is now out of position.

Remove the 4X4 gearshift and manually use a screwdriver to engage to 2 wheel mode. Don't forget to replace the lever bush.

Hi mbunch33,

You sure you got the correct shift slot?

Any way it requires quite a strong force to get it going and since a screwdriver did not do the job, you need a stronger bar.
