The drive component may comprise a transfer component. The combination position lock and drive mechanism disconnect may comprise: a drive disengage latch; a secondary lock latch selectably alternatively engagable between strikers; a manual drive receiver simultaneously operationally engagable with both the drive disengage latch and the secondary lock latch, and comprising a manual drive work output operationally engagable with the manual drive work input; and an automatic release.
