Have you actually pulled the small motor out of the transfer case? I had a similar problem with our 93 Explorer the motor would run, but wouldn't go into 4 wheel. Inside the gear housing on the motor is a small plastic bushing that had broken down. Didn't want to buy a new motor and couldn't buy parts. Used a small piece of water faucet inlet tube to fix. I know this sounds crude, but it worked for us. I can send a picture of the tubing we used if interested.

It is probably a problem with your front axle, Not your transfer case
