Default tansfer case question

Today I had my transfer case shift from 4 low to neutral twice when I was shifting my transmission. First I do have a sye and a auto transmission. Second I was not paying a lot of attention when shifting but I think it was when I was going from reverse back down to first. Any ideas on why this would happen? Thanks in advance!!!!

transmission is cable operated, transfercase is linkage operated. I'd put my money on your transfer case linkage being out of adjustment.

Transfer Case Linkage Adjustment

Straight from the FSM:

SHIFT LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
(1) Shift transfer case into 4L position. (make sure your shifter is fully in the 4L position)
(2) Raise vehicle.
(3) Loosen lock bolt on adjusting trunnion (Fig.
87).
(4) Be sure linkage rod slides freely in trunnion.
Clean rod and apply spray lube if necessary.
(5) Verify that transfer case range lever is fully
engaged in 4L position. (you can do this under the vehicle at the transfer case)
(6) Tighten adjusting trunnion lock bolt.
(7) Lower vehicle

This is OEM tech... not advanced... your not running a Atlas case right? Please read over the rules and post is the proper locations...
