I haven't heard of any JDM owners manuals available. I've still got the book that came with my Proton but I doubt it even mentions the JDM transfer case. I'll look.

There was some discussion about a year ago about someone ordering an Owners Manual online. Try using the search function on the home page to see if you can find it.

Actually, while in Moab, todd mentioned that you can shift from 4L to 4H on the fly. Just shift to neutral, then put it in 4H, then back to drive...I did it multiple times at around 25mph or so. no problems, no thunks, grinding or otherwise bad sounds. He was right. Butt definitely not 4H to 4L...badddddd.
