The transfer case is shifted by an encoder motor (9) on the control actuator shaft. The control
actuator shaft rotates the 2/4 wheel drive actuator cam (10) and moves the high/low range shift
fork (12) or the 2/4 wheel drive mode shift fork (8). Depending on the selected mode or range,
the shift forks move either the high/low clutch (4) for the high/low range planetary assembly (3)
or the synchronizer sleeve (6) for the 2/4 wheel drive mode. In 2WD mode, the engine power
from the transmission (1) is delivered to the input shaft (2). The engagement teeth on the inside of
the input shaft (2) are engaged to the outer teeth on the high/low clutch (4). The high/low clutch
(4) is slip splined to rear output shaft (5). The engine power flows from the high/low clutch (4) to
the rear output shaft (5) and delivered to rear propeller shaft (7).
