Unable to align shift forks in 88 Suzuki Samurai?

I had the same problem. The problem is caused by a ball that keeps the 2 forks locked in their respective position. I took the transfer case apart and found this problem. You can unlock the forks by using a screwdriver in 1 of the slots of just one of the forks and forcing it to unlock, it will take some force to do this, but is easier than taking apart the transfer case.
