After further research, it looks like the Shiftster idea will not work for flat towing.
I found this video on YouTube that shows the BW1354 TC with the motor removed.
Refer to time 4:00 and later for the explanation of the 'N' position.

You can see the 'N' position marked on the TC casting, as mentioned in a previous reply in this thread.
*HOWEVER*, when the TC is in the 'N' position the result is the following:
- input shaft (i.e. transmission) is disconnected -- this is good
- Front and Rear output shafts are connected to each otherĀ  -- not good for flat towing a vehicle

I have no experience with transfer cases, so let me know if I am misunderstanding the info above.
Thanks.
