Trouble installing the rubber insulator and clip on a '93 YJ transfer case shift rod.

[Superbird17]

Hello all,

I'm having trouble with the installation of a new rubber insulator sleeve and clip that goes on the inside of the transfer case shifter rods square housing. Has anyone successfully installed these ? I've used a little grease hoping it would slide inside with ease (which it does) but it's never seatting correctly. If anyone has had success with getting the 2 pieces mated together and seated inside the housing I'd sure like to know the secret..lol

I did this last week. I too used a little grease. I found that I was able to get the most downward leverage by putting it in 4L. I had to work at it for about a half hour but it got there eventually.
