I have a 2002 KJ V6 3.7 automatic and my transfer case shift cable broke. I cannot find one anywhere. If someone knows where I can get the whole assembly with cable if needed that would be great. Im ready to get back on the trails. Or does anyone know if another model or year cables assembly would work Thanks everyone.

For sure. I guess I should have said they have one in the Mopar deep back room for $600. I can't believe they charge that much for a part that's probably been sitting there for years.

I've called a dozen salvage yards today and they told me when they take the 4x4 shifter out they just cut the cable off, I told one of them you need to start keeping them because of the price I was quoted at Mopar. I have a couple of u pull it places to check out.

Have a Google, there must be someone near you who makes custom cables, that price is insane!
As an example, in the UK I use Speedy cables for all sorts of industrial replacement cables & the cost is nowhere near what you have been quoted.

I have exhausted my searches I've called over 50 different places around the US and it's just bizarre to me the this cable is a unicorn. It's for a 2002 -2004 you would think they would be everywhere.

The biggest issue is they cut that cable off of the four-wheel drive shifter when they sell the shifter at a junkyard.

Is the cable itself broke or just the end bushing where it connects to the TC lever.
Often times it's just the bushing that fails.

Oh i wish it is was that easy. The cable itself broke. The metal was frayed.

it really is a head scratcher as to why they cut the cable off the gear selector for the 4x4. Those are gold.

Contact some better yards. 25 years ago we knew better than to chop $600 cables on the dismantling rack.

Do note that shifter assemblies differ between part-time and full-time. Not sure if there if there is a nuance year change also. I went from 2005 np241 to 2003 np242 and had to modify the bracket on the transmission and use zip ties to hold it in place.
