After 28 years, think there might be some wear in the linkage or internally?

You've got a BW1356 and your range fork is worn. Very, very common and causes your exact symptoms.

You need a rebuild. At this point the shift fork pads are definitely gone and it's probably eaten into the fork itself. Plan on a new fork.

I'd absolutely do the 4x4 fork at the same time, although it may only need new pads.

You've got two shift forks total: the range fork slides a gear within the planetary assy for hi, lo, or N. The 4x4 fork slides a gear to determine if the front output is powered (via the chain) or not.

It's pretty damn simple and a lot of fun once you get into it. Get the 'case on the bench, don't attempt in-vehicle
