The symptoms you describe are commonly caused by the 'progressive coupler'. Located inside the transfer case.
I believe the only way to fix it is to replace the coupler.

Not a dealer part and I'm unsure of the requirements to replace it.

The case has to come out and split to change the coupler. And it is expensive. So much so that guys seriously consider installing the 242 case instead. Your choice.

Thanks for clarifying.
I recall many posts and write-ups regarding switching out the 247 and 249 to the 242 Select-Trac. Look for results from the jeep forums when searching.
I have the 242 in my XJ. It's actually a remanufactured one with HD chain from a Grand Cherokee, only problem is the 'shift indicator light' is out of sequence. Can't figure out how to fix it.
