try adjusting the rod coming off of the shifter under the jeep first.

if that doesnt work, you may have to go inside the transfercase.

I had a similar issue and it was only because coins and stuff fell beneath the trim around the Tcase shifter. It kept resisting for a while and after I pulled a few mangled quarters out from under the shifter after taking apart the console, The tcase shifts like butter.
