I would check your t case linkage first before you get too worried, there is alittle adjusting nut on it if it needs adjusted, if its bent maybe time for a junkyard run. Have you checked the t case fluid?

was the transmission in neutral (while stopped) when you were shifting in and out of 4low?
it's designed to shift in and out of 4hi in gear on the fly, but not 4low.
