Check your linkage for starters.

Do you have a t-case drop. There is an adjustable section on the t-case linkage. loosen bolt, then manually shift t-case in to 4 lo or 2wd then make shifter hande match. Retighten and check operation. IF you did it right you should have correct operation.

Where is the adjustment made? At the transfercase where the shaft goes into the case?

Could also be worn pads on the shift fork (inside the t-case).

Agreed, there should not be any starters on your linkage.
