This pic is a cable operated disconnect that were standard on an earlier model Oz luxury version of a Nissan Patrol. They had a small e brake type handle under the dash to operate it.

This pic shows how it works. Very clever as its basically two halves of a valve collett type scenario but with straight sides. The spring loaded mechanisim forces them to lock into a round slot cut into the shaft just like a valve. When the cable pulls the top section down the two "colletts" come out of the locking slots and the shaft slides up or down etc.
The switch activates a dash warning light that its disconnected.
