Could you turn that off on just the rear engine? How do AWD allow differential(ing)?

    Again, just thinking out loud.
    when the engine is not running the pump is not pumping fluid so no circuts get any fluid to lock or unlock the clutch which doesn't matter since none of the other clutch is engaged. but the differential and the output drive will still be turning at which point you need a pump to push fluid through the system and lubricate it.
    as long as you don't have the f****** shifter in park you're good at that point lol
