When you shift it I assume you have your foot on the brake and the transmission in neutral?
Does it shift in and out of 4high ok?

Check the voltage at the shift motor. If it isn't getting the correct voltage(e.i...damaged wires) it could stick from not enough power. I believe you also need to have the transmission in Neutral when you shift into and out of 4Lo....
