No, you need to stop to shift. Reason for a tcase over a transmission is I just don't need all the ratios. Normally I just drive around in OD giving me a 2.9ish ratio so it drives like a normal rig. If I have a huge load or just need to zip around then I put it in 1:1 to use my 5.83 rear end. I'll try to post a build thread on it, with finished pics.
So far it's worked fine for what I need.
