A work vehicle includes a multi-mode power distribution assembly that selectively distributes power from a drive shaft between a first axle and a second axle. The power distribution assembly includes a plurality of clutches, each moveable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The power distribution assembly includes a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode. In some embodiments, the first mode may be a four-wheel drive mode, the second mode may be an all-wheel drive mode, and the third mode may be an overdrive mode. Also, a park mode may be provided, wherein the clutches are in the engaged position.

A transfer includes: an input shaft; an output shaft; a high-low switching mechanism; an output member whose output destination is different from output destination of the output shaft; a clutch for transmitting a power to the output member; a first transmitting mechanism for transmitting movement of an internally threaded member to the clutch; and a drum cam having a cam groove. The cam groove includes a first inclined section that causes the high-low switching mechanism to be switched between a high-speed gear stage and a low-speed gear stage, and a second inclined section that causes the first transmitting mechanism to be switched between (i) a separated position in which the first transmitting mechanism is separated from the clutch and (ii) a contact position in which the first transmitting mechanism is in contact with the clutch, while the high-speed gear stage is established in the high-low switching mechanism.

The drive output shaft may be operatively connectable to the first connecting shaft so as to be switchable by a first clutch and to the second connecting shaft so as to be switchable by a second clutch.

A drive switching apparatus includes an output member connected to a drive switching member and displacing the drive switching member to three shift positions by being rotated, a deceleration mechanism decelerating rotation of an input portion connected to an electric motor and outputting the rotation to an output portion, a rotation absorption mechanism including an elastic member interposed between an input element connected to the output portion and an output element connected to the output member, the rotation absorption mechanism absorbing rotation of the input element in a case where rotation of the output element is restricted during the rotation of the input element, and a switch operation portion provided at the output element, the switch operation portion turning a switch on and off according to a rotational position of the output member in order to detect the shift positions of the drive switching member.

A method for shifting between a low speed range and a high speed range for a two-speed transfer case in a four-wheel drive vehicle includes determining a target transmission gear ratio and a desired transfer case range based on the current vehicle speed and the initial transfer case range. The transmission is shifted to the target transmission gear ratio when it is determined that the vehicle speed is in an appropriate range. The transfer case input torque is reduced to a minimum value, and the transfer case is shifted to neutral. The method further includes adjusting the engine speed and transmission gear setting to control the transmission output shaft speed to a desired range. The transfer case is shifted from neutral to the desired transfer case range when the transmission output shaft speed is within the desired range of transmission output shaft speed.
