I know this is a dumb question, but have you tried putting the transimission in neutral then shifting into 4lo?

The Xfer case can get stiff with time, especially if it isn't used very often. The suggestion to try it it neutral is what I'd try first and then try driving in reverse for a few dozen feet, sometimes it works better once you sync the gears but I'm gussing ths shift forks are just being balky. Sometime you have to put some muscle to it before it'll engage. My NP205's were pretty hard to shift so it hasn't been an uncommon problem for me at least.

i have put it in neutral and tried everything the manuel says but it still wont work, i also tried using some "strength" on it and didnt work, and tried moving forward and backwards in driveway and nothing. is there something i can spray up to free it?

Arent these t-cases the ones you have to push down on the shifter to get past 4hi? I am trying to remember what my 94 F350 had and I think you have to push down on the handle once in 4hi to get past the gate in the linkage...

Just a thought.

Well, if it's froze then it's froze. Sounds like a shift fork is frozen. If you just can't move it regardless of what you try then you'll need to open up the case & @ the very least clean it up & probably install a rebuild kit since you've gone thru the hassle to take it down & open it up.
