Yeah mines more than fussy. It's a little biotch. So do you think swapping out the t-case would fix my problems and I could shift in and out freely or does something else need to be addressed?

Good explanation karl.. So I didn't get a chance to mechanically shift the lever into 2wd today. But still. I go offroad almost everyday. I live in wyoming and idaho. THe jeep is my dd. But I live in the mountains so I'm almost always offroad. If I shift into 2wd with a wrench. But need 4wd a day later and it doesn't go back out then what?? Will replacing the transfer case resolve this issue or is there something else that needs to be addressed first? Thanks.
As for your other worry, if it is not adjusted properly, it is likely that its only one of the ends of selection (2wd and Low) that will give you a problem.
To think of it, if you off road that often, maybe the bushings are worn out on the links.

The Manual Says
The original 1996 Owners Manual for Cherokee Classic with 242 states that 'Full-Time' can be used with no decrease in gas mileage and can be used all the time in any condition including dry pavement.
My disclaimer to this is if you run a lunchbox up front than Full-Time becomes useless,
