Say I'm driving down the road doing 35mph and I realize I forgot to take it out of 4wh. Can I just shift the TCase right there, or do I need to slow down or come to a complete stop?
When can I shift the TCase?

The owners manual says in and out of 4-hi can be done on the fly at up to 55 mph, but 4-hi to 4-lo and back must be under 3 mph with clutch in.

Thanks! I was going through the FSM and could not find it anywhere. I forgot to look in the owners manual sitting right in my glove box. That's an interesting note they make about the preferred method being to go from 4hi to 4lo and vice versa at 2-3mph rather than a stopped position. That could explain the difficulties I've sometimes had transferring.
No mention is made for the need to depress the clutch when shifting from 2 to 4hi and vice versa, but I'm afraid to try without pressing the clutch...
I'll give it a shot, and I'm going to get me one of those slick Savvy shifter's next year so I can join your club...

Yep, I’ve gone from 2 to 4hi plenty of times while under 55mph. I don’t remember having to use the clutch for 2 to 4lo, though.
