Transfer case variaties
Is there info anywhere, like a FAQ about every model of tranfer case and what shifting configuration (manual stick, electric motor actuator, ESOF/vacuum hubs) was available for whatever transmission they were hooked up to in all the years of the Super Duty? I've been seaching and I'm confused.
What I really need clarification on is if a truck with manual hubs and the electric motor actuator has the same tranfer case as a truck with manual hubs and a manual lever style shifter.
I've been looking to buy a Super Duty for over a month and one of my prerequisites is to have a manual lever syle T-case shifter. They're not the easiest thing to find, especially in a super cab shortbed diesel. I just want to make sure I get the right case that can be modified to a lever if that's possible. Thanks in advance for any info.

No. The difference is the truck with the manual transfer case has neutral. The electronically shifted case does not.
More specifically, the electric case is a New Venture 273. The manual case is a New Venture 271 (IIRC).

To my understanding Ford only makes a manual transfer case with manual hubs, and a elcectronic transfer case with auto hubs. Although many people have changed the auto hubs to manuals due to all the problems with the autos (i.e. vaccum leaks).
