The 236 auto transfer case is a automatic/electronic controled 4 wheel drive in auto mode.
In auto mode it only pulls on rear wheels unless they start slipping then it applies power to the front wheels as needed.
The old floor shift ones are manual shifted in or out of 4 wheel.
Then you have the all wheel drive jobs. 4 wheel all time.
On them the pull is mosty but not all together on rear wheels and if rear wheels start slipping they transfer more power to front wheels.
Kinda of a variable 4 wheel drive. All done with a viscious clutch inside the transfer case
