I too regularly engage front drive on the go though with my manual hubs I need to know in advance that I am likely to need to do so and have them pre engaged usually towing trailers in and out of fields or if snow is forecast.

On the electrically selected gear-changer, I have more than once inadvertently selected 4wd (while at speed) when not looking down to move the air recirculation slider, only noticing when the glancing at the instruments and seeing the 4wd light on :unsure:

Yes you should and Suzuki insists that you are stationary. However, with the manual transfer case and a little bit of practice it is possible to do while moving. It's non-syncromesh so you need to rev match, much like changing gear in a vintage car.

That's "double de-clutching"
On non-synchromesh boxes (found on many pre-war cars) the procedure is:
Clutch pedal 'in' to disco the engine from the g'box, move the gear lever to the neutral position. Then with the clutch pedal 'up', rev the engine in neutral slightly trying to match the rpm for the next gear, clutch 'in' again and select the next gear, clutch up again, and away you go

...takes some practice to do it nicely without crashing the gears :blush:
