no, theres not. ive taken my transmission out and apart with my own bare manicured hands.
the front diff is activated via clutches that are built into the front diff that are bathed in oils (this allows a much quicker activation and is also able to handle more torque than the 996, which is crap).
theres a shaft thats connected to the front drive that always spins. the front drive is where the clutches are, and theyre what turns the front drive on and off, not a center diff.

I may have been wrong. This article says that the center diff is electromagnetic, therefore you should be able to disengage the front wheels. Interesting!

Interesting. Possible another element which might turn off while e brake is engaged. Might have to find someone that is an electrical engineer to understand the connection if it is even there.

996TT=hydraulic box was
997TT=electric
The hydraulic box: was heavier
reacted less quickly
reacted less accurately
was of larger dimensions
Since it was hydraulic, gullible/adventurous owner-operators could do things like driving around with the e-brake on by, depending on the myth, one, two, or even three (!) clicks. Hilarity ensued.

Thanks for the info Sunset. Does the 3 click e brake make the front wheels smoke on the 996?
What about the 997? Any electrical cut off?

Well I re-read the posts and it looks like you're trying to figure out how to disengage the front wheels in an AWD car - is that right? But I still don't understand the "why" - more control while tracking?

You're best bet would be to Google "2007 911 Turbo Press Release." I believe Porsche has them posted on their website somewhere.
