Going OT a little bit, the transfer case shifter is a different animal. There are no electronic transfer cases. If you have a shift lever, there is an actual linkage to the shifting fork shaft. If you have an electronic shift, there is a motor that turns the same shifting fork shaft. That motor is an added point of failure, and it is right down there in all the mud and muck. From a dependability POV, I much prefer the manual 4WD shift levers. But most of us end up with the electronic shift these days and somehow we get by with it.
