A transfer case includes a housing, along with an input shaft, a primary output shaft, a secondary output shaft, and a secondary torque transfer mechanism, each disposed at least partially within the housing. The input shaft is configured to couple to the primary output shaft to transfer torque thereto. The secondary torque transfer mechanism includes a rotating member coupled to the secondary output shaft and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a locking ring, a fork member engaging the locking ring, and a slide shaft coupled to the fork member and configured to slide the locking ring to positively couple the primary output shaft to the rotating member to transfer torque to the secondary output shaft. The housing includes an aperture axially configured to receive an elongated tool configured to be rotated manually external to the housing for engaging and moving the slide shaft to the second position.
