This isn't a shift on the fly transfer case. Even in neutral in rear
wheel drive if the rear wheels are turning then the gears and chain
are turning and if the front wheels are turning the front portion is
turning as well. All it does is allow you to connect the two or choose
a lower gear ratio. 2 high to 4 high is simply the chain engaging. 4
high to 4 low is the forks physically moving the gear. Bernd, Jon, or
someone else more educated in this can help, but that's what my dad
and I figured out when we took apart a burnt up transfer case of mine.
It should pop out of 4 low just fine if you come to a slow stop and
put it in neutral. It's probably a bad sign if it sticks bad in 4 low,
slides out of 4 low, or grinds when the gear is firmly engaged (I've
experienced all these on the first t-case I had before the chain ate
through the bottom of the case).
