Back in the day when the T-84J was "new" to the jeep it had problems with getting stuck in gear and "driving around in low." Here are a couple of communiques on the subject from that war-time hero mechanic--Sgt Half-Mast....
"Transmission sticking in second gear?
Army Motors WW2:
Dear Ed,
There seems to be a slight defect in the transmission-control-housing assembly of the Ford 1/4-ton, GPW. At the top of this assembly are two small rivets (you can see them from, the outside) which continue inside the assembly, to hold a small guide plate in place. This little part hasn’t a number but you’ll find it right at the top and to one side of the gearshift lever within the control-housing assembly. These little rivets were loose in two of my vehicles. and we found that they caused the transmission to stick in second gear. At least we took up the slack by tapping them a bit: this held the plate in place, and the gears were all right again.
I have three of these vehicles and two of them had this defect. I believe this could be corrected on the assembly line by 'seating’ the rivets in place more firmly.

Ed. note - This suggestion might save a lot of digging and delving to find out why the 1/4-ton jeep sticks in second gear. We’ve had several of them stick in second and in each case traced the trouble to looseness of the little guide plate that is held In place in the transmission control housing by the two rivets. The plate can be tightened by removing the control housing and replacing the rivets with new ones, or by tightening the old rivets.
Dear Half-Mast, About the Ford jeeps that sometimes refuse to be driven around in anything but low, Gear—on these jobs, the shift fork guide (which is riveted to the gear shift housing assembly), becomes loose, which makes it difficult to shift from low into second gear. To correct it, we re-peened the rivets and spot-welded the plate on the sides, to the housing.
How's about welding these plates right on at the factory, instead of bringing ‘em to us poor old, overworked (?) 3rd -echelon guys?

Dear Sarge, Your re-peening process is the right cure for this trouble, you poor, old, over-worked dear. Ford is now making sure that the plate is securely riveted in production. I wouldn’t weld the plate to the housing, though, because it ain’t practical to weld a steel stamping to the housing, which is a casting."
Of course other reasons for getting stuck in gear have present themselves....you could have a worn gear shifter, shift plate could either be worn or bent, especially if you have an early plate that doesn't have the "U" welded to add strength.
