1999 GMC K 2500 Suburban 4WD transfer case problems

Trying to identify problem. On my 99 burb my transfer case has been replaced due to an improper lift kit install. 8 Months later new transfer case blows again after new (correct) lift installed, now and soon after the transfer blows I loose 1st and reverse after a loud pop! Because this is the auto track transfer does the transfer have to be engaged to blow the 1st and reverse gears in the transmission? Everyone I have talked to says the bad alignment with the transfer linkage blew the transfer case however can their be inclusive damage to the transmission?

old post but ...I've read where some lift kits require a new front drive shaft with auto track vehicle lift kits.
