Gear Driven "Shift on the Fly"
Driving around in the winter(especially in Canada) having shift-on-the-fly 4wd is really nice to have. I discovered recently upon driving back from hunting a while ago, that my recently installed R1FA behind my W56 is most defonitly not shift on the fly. This is backed up by marlincrawler.com.
I know(after having a 92 4Runner) that chain drive t-cases can be shifted while moving, but I'm pretty sure I can't swap one in withmy current tranny.
So does anyone know if its possible to give a gear driven case "shift on the fly"?

If your hubs are locked, you can shift on the fly. (don't know about ADD though)
I can do it with my 71 landcruiser too. As long as the front axle is turning (hubs are locked) all that has to happen in the TC is the coupling slides into place, locking the front to the TC.
Definitely cannot shift to low range on the fly

You can shift up to 50mph (I wouldnt do it) to 4 hi if your hubs are locked. But to 4 lo you gotta stop. I stop anyways for both just incase, dont wanna messup anything.

Ok, allow me to clarify: I don't have ADD on mine: came stock with manual hubs, and there is no ADD "box" on the passenger side axle tube.
I know the under 50 thing was valid with my 4Runner with ADD, but doesn't seem to be on this rig. I was driving on some back roads in 4hi, and when I hit the "clear" highway I went to shift back to 2hi, and I could feel it resisting. I could pop it out of 4hi to a "neutral" spot between 4hi and 2hi, but it wouldn't shift all the way to 2hi(I could feel/hear it grind, so I stopped to finish the shift).
