tranny/ transfer case problems

my transfer case falls in and out of gear. when i put it into 2h the truck feels like a sidewinder snake, like im going sideways, lol. and it comes and goes. i think its messing up my tranny to. all fluids and linkages have been checked, u bolts and everything. dont know what the deal is. anyone have or had this problem?

More info on the sideways business needed. Does it return to normal when you go to 4x.

do you know what im talking about? it feels like the tires are about to fall off. when i put it into 4h or low when i try to accelerate the truck barely moves. i have new lockers on, and when i took the truck to a mechanic he said he couldnt find anything and all fluids and linkages looked good.

The only thing I can think of that will make a rig run sideways is a sheared tie bolt.
On the barely moves business in 4x has it always been like this or is it something new.
