I think this will be helpful to show you how the electric shift motor mounts and that you can remove it and shift by hand.

Installation: Installation Instructions for The Shiftster | The Shiftster

You can also repair the shift motor, Servicing A Transfer Case Shift Motor

That and you have to have it in neutral and foot on the brake to shift into low don't you?
