Early Rangies with the lt95 were locally modified to auto by stripping the guts out of the primnary gearbox and running a shaft through the void from a borg warner 35 or IIRC a c4 to the transfer case, with the auto being in the position of the bell housing.
Could it be possible to run the auto then the primary gearbox then the transfer case.
Auto 3rd gear 1:1,lt95 4th-1:1.
lt95 3rd-1.5:1
and so on.

That is similar to how doublers are configured. And how the Nissan parts that Bill raised earlier in this thread. The Nissan section being a short 2 speed gearbox (one speed is direct drive, second is a reduction).

In a patrol it sandwiches between the 5 speed gearbox and the final part of the transfer case used to drive front and rear wheels.

Edit: Bill built his splitter from a shortened LT95 to use 2 speeds (direct and 3rd from memory), but reversed so 3rd was a step up. And, also from memory, the splitter went in front of the main gearbox.
