Ok Trying to install the assembly. its all in there, so just trying to adjust. I have no adjustments left on the body mount bracket for the shift lever the big nut is at the end of thread the one facing front of jeep. It seems to select all gears not sure if it will pop out of 4Low. but my light indicator doesnt show in 4lo...
so guessing ran out of lever room.

FYI one of the zinc plated pieces cam without being threaded so could not install on the cable to attach to levers. to go along with no adjustment instructions.

Is it best to have lever in 4Lo or in 2wd ? should the body holes be enlongated in order to have more adjustment? gave up for today...will try tomorrow again.

Can you post a pic of the unthreaded piece so we know what the problem is.
 
I think I manually placed the TC in 4 low, placed the shifter in 4 low and then adjusted the linkage from there. It all worked first time.
 
I just left the TC and the shifter handle in 2 high and adjusted the cable to those points and that was it. Worked in each setting without a problem.
 
Here is the one fitting that I had to thread

This is my go to...work from the farthest throw backward.
