I'm having a bit of trouble selecting h4h2 at the minute on the lever. I took the transfer lever off to have a look, as it needs straightening up anyway, and it looks like this (see below) with H4L showing on the dash - which seems wrong as I seem to recall the two cutouts lining up before in H4L to...

What's the waxy black stuff that makes the socket part of the ball and socket joint on the transfer lever ball shaped? And where can I get some more of it?

I took the transfer lever apart and most of it just flaked away!

Thanks in advance!
