Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Galants were available with a switchable tranny/transfer case combo, allowing you to switch to FWD simply by removing a bolt and bracket from the tranny and transfer case. Removing the bolt from the tranny allows the plunger in the case to extend, locking the center diff down. Removing the bolt from the transfer case allows the plunger to retract, unlocking the shaft, allowing the transfer case to freewheel. I need to find one of them!!

You can find one on eBay every once in a while, but I don't know of anybody using it.

new to me, now wouldnt it be nice if you could do that inside the car or while moving, you could get the AWD launch and then switch it off once your moving so you dont get all the parasitic loses in hp.
I dont know, if i stated thaqt as accuratly as possible, but im sure some one understands what im saying

I'm not sure if its weaker, I would have to look inside of one. but I would be putting ont in a stock talon AWD for hopes of better MPG.

John has one that he will be putting into his talon. After he gets mike to weld a vc, all he has to do is drop a bolt to dyno from awd to fwd.

The output shaft going to the driveshaft on the switchable JDM transfer cases have been known to snap.
