So from my understanding, the floor shifter works as the "switch" like the turn dial **** to actuate the solenoid, but also gets rid of the transfer case motor and shifts the t-case manually. 4hi is still shift on the fly. But 4lo gotta stop and drop into neutral.
Yes. Ironic that the system is still electronically and vacuum controlled. The "manual" 4x4 system just replaces one electronic switch with a lever on the floor. The transfer case still has an electromagnetic clutch too.
