Well not to start another thread ... I use 4L typically to pull the boat out
of the drink ... so it's down the ramp backwards in 2H ,,, stop in park ,,,
run the boat up onto the trailer ,,, start up, neutral, 4L, drive ... and up
the ramp I go. I will not shut down on the ramp in 4L ... I just don't trust
it not slipping into neutral. So for my application ... parked on a ramp
with a 3000 lb boat/trailer ... the procedure I'm using works consistently
.... no grinding of gears ... and is imo the best/safest I can do. Mmmmm ...
boating :-).

You need to be moving at a speed where the idle speed of the motor matches
the ground speed. If you come to a stop for any reason, then you have to
shift into N with the trans, attempt to shift the tcase, and WHILE working
the tcase, shift into D. Alternatively, you can shift into N, and work the
tcase while the gears are spinning down.
