You'll need some new gaskets as well.I have AVM FWH and they are a pain
to get the gaskets for,in the end I bought a sheet of gasket paper and
cut some out myself.

I think you are confusing things a bit there - it is 4 wheel drive that
shouldnt really be used for prolonged use on hard surfaces(in fact it is
quite alright to use it if going fairly straight, it is when you start
turning tight corners that you may start to get 'transmission wind up').
The FWHs only disconnect the wheel from the final drive,which reputedly
saves on fuel costs (less weight for the engine to turn).Yes, in effect
they are doing the same thing as taking it out of 4WD when disconnected,
but there is no real reason to not just pull the 4wd lever and put it into
rear wheel drive, rather than getting out and disconnecting drive on both
front wheels.
