I'm guessing one of two things happened. Either it just wouldn't go in, or somebody is still finding transfer case parts years later.
It was just like trying to drop a manual in gear but forgetting to put the clutch in. It ground for a second, shook the shifter, and then my instinct kicked in and my hand flew off the shifter.
Isn't that hard on the drive-train when you're on dry pavement?
IIRC "The Rat" never sees dry pavement and is used mostly to move firewood and brush around Andy's property.
