    Shifting t-case

    I just read something on Wikipedia that said the t-case was made to shift on the fly. Is that true? So if i go from snow/ice to pavement I donot have to stop to shift. I always have stoped but i would be so much easier to shift on the fly. And is it better to stop to shift anyway?
