NP231 Shift Linkage Bushings

My NP231 (90 MJ, 4.0, AX15) has been getting a good workout with all the snow we've had recently. So far I've had 2 instances where I've unsuccessfully tried to go from 2HI to 4HI. The first time I pulled the lever to the detent and didn't have 4 HI. Cycled the lever again and it went in. This afternoon was the same story except I was able to pull the lever an extra 1/2 back after driving a few hundred feet and felt it pop into 4HI. I'm guessing bad bushings on the T-case linkage? The floors are solid so I don't think it's body flex.
Any write ups on this and/or P/N for the bushing kit? I'd imagine it's an exercise similar to changing wiper linkage bushings.
