In normal driving, I'd agree that using the fuse wouldn't damage the transfer clutch any more than when the system is operating normally. It is, after all, designed to slip constantly - for tens of thousands of miles, even. But wouldn't spinning the front tires cause exceesive slipping in the transfer clutch plates, damaging them? Or do you tihnk they're designed for it, so they can take it?
