Best Answer

transfer case behind main transmission engages either manually through a lever selected by driver or electrically by switch pressed by driver to a gear set that will transfer torque to both the front and rear drive shafts equally splitting power between the two. front axle engagement can be either manually by locking in hub selector nobs, automatic centrifugal locking hubs, or any other manufacture specific front axle engagement method.
