I read that. Then you go online and find flat tow neutral kits that used to be sold by Ford to allow.
Two I found.
1L2Z-7H332-AB
1L2J-7H332-AA1
I found instructions to install. The kit consists of a plug in light and instructions to program tne computer for
4H 2H Neutral 4L.
Have als read where some people bought a LED light and wired it in. Where? Then you have to go to Ford to reprogram. My local dealer was no help.

IIRC, 2001-03 automatics did not have an oil circulating pump.

If the transfer case is in neutral. The transmission does not turn When being towed . No pump needed. Just a say to get transfer case into neutral.

The rear drive shaft will turn the transmission output shaft. No fluid circulation on that bearing and components, will cause damage. Auto transmissions used to have rear pumps. That was in the day when you could push start one. Not since many years....

Help me understand how the drive shaft is turning the transmission when on a 4x4 the drive shft is directed through the transfer case?

Assuming a <a href="http://www.mysporttrac.com/~library/10521/TransferCase/bw1354_illustration.jpg" target="_blank">Borg-Warner 1354</a> ...
Because the input shaft of the transfer case is coupled to the output shaft making them essentially one shaft. They can be separated, but not by the dash switch - there is no neutral position (hence the need for the neutral tow kit and to activate the software).
Does this make sense?

... and the output of the transmission is connected to the input of the transfer case, and the rear drive shaft is connected to the transfer case output shaft. This means that the rear drive shaft is essentially connected to the output shaft of the transmission.
transmission output shaft -> transfer case input shaft -> transfer case output shaft -> rear drive shaft
transmission output shaft -> transfer case input shaft -> transfer case output shaft -> rear drive shaft
