84 chevy 3/4 ton manual trans, sometimes when taking off in 2hi transfer will jump out of gear. I then pull the selector down to 4hi and still nothing, I then pull it down to 4low and it goes into gear I then push it back to 2hi and theres nothing again,I will repete that a few times then I will have drive in 2hi again, Doesnt happen while in motion or when i have hubs locked, Any suggestions would be appreciated

Check all linkage to make sure it is going into gear all the way. I hope this is the cause because if not sounds like you will be pulling out a transfer case.If original then it's 25 years old and probably ready to give up the ghost.Good luck and keep us posted.

Sounds like a worn range fork.
