tcase replaced and now i have no 4Lo via the shifter

[95XJCountry]

hi. i had a local good shop get a used tcase because mine was toast. they did new seals, new fluid, checked chain, etc. they cant get 4lo to work with shifter in cab. if they make that work, then i have no 4hi via shifter. but 4lo works if you manually put it in from the tcase. i have the command trac in a 95 jeep cherokee country. heres the problem. i know my 4lo and 4hi have always worked from shifter. he mentioned there were 2 wrong size bolts in linkage, too short. he put the right ones in. but its just not adding up. he is telling me he doesnt want to weld/lengthen it because hes not sure it will work. he had asked me to just take it with no 4lo; but hell, i took it in with 4lo and 4 hi. i cant see accepting only 4hi as a feasable option.
please tell me someone can shed some light on what to do at this point. the first tcase was wrong he got. the other place wants twice as much. i can get one off of ebay for 250 and hell refund the 350 i paid for the one he put in, but it all seems so iffy right now. im questioning, could the linkage have gotten broke? he said the tcase numbers match. its a np231j like i had in it. :???: gut tells me the linkage is broke. can i just buy new linkage?

The linkage is adjustable. You need to manually put it in 4 low then out the selector in 4 low. Loosen the adjuster nut and slide it till it clicks in the re tighten it. I just went through that on my gf 95. Cherokee
