Low Speed Four-Wheel Drive Operation

When the transfer case gearshift control lever is placed in the "4L" position, the reduction shift fork moves the reduction clutch sleeve backward. This action engages the input gear with the low output gear-lowering the output gear ratio considerably.

At the same time, the front drive shift fork moves the front drive clutch sleeve backward. This action engages the front drive clutch hub with the drive sprocket. Once engaged, the drive sprocket turns the drive chain and provides torque through the front output shaft to the front propeller shaft.
