Troubles going into 4-Low
No matter what I can't get my Bronco to go into 4-Low. It'll go into 4H no problem. But it wont go into Neutral or 4L. It just seems to kind of be stuck there and I can't pull it back any further. I've gotten it to do it once when I first bought it, but thats it. Is it ment to do this or is my Bronco just messed?

I have the exact same problem. I have the mazda 5-speed manuel transmission. I can put it in 4HI no problem. But the t-case lever will not budge further. I have tried in neutral, and also in gear standing/moving (~5mph). Nothing I have done will get the t-case lever further down.
(yes I know I have to push the lever to the left.)

Troubles going into 4-Low
Just fixed mine a couple weeks ago. Problem with mine was the detent adjusts. We took the boot off the shift lever and got under with a 1-1/8 inch wrench and a 20 or 21 metric I think. We just loosened up the adjustments and got everything to line up then tightened up and went for a short drive. Everything worked, so finished up and put everything in it's place.
Hope the same works out for you.

Adjusting mechanical shift linkage is easy. As he said, loosen it all up, line it up, and put it back together. In more detail, go under the truck and remove the shift linkage from the t-case shifter, at the t-case. Turn the cog on the t-case (where the linkage was) to 4-low. Put the shifter where it needs to be for 4-low. This is where you need to adjust the linkage to be when you put it back on. Adjust the linkage, put it back together, and it should drop right into gear. It's all pretty self-explanatory when you see it under the truck.
