The transfer case is shifted by a remote mounted shift lever, which is connected by linkage to the shift lever (9) on the shift detent lever shaft. The shift detent lever shaft rotates the cam shaped shift detent lever assembly (10) and moves the high/low range shift fork (11) 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 the 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 slipped splined to the rear output shaft (5). The engine power flows from the high/low clutch (4) to the rear output shaft (5) and is delivered to the rear propeller shaft (7).
