transmission/transfer case broken. need some help

So, i pulled the t case, axles out already and am ready to pull the tranny.
Buttt i need some help as ho to tell what is wrong first.

I've been driving the car for about a week. did a few launches one night,after that i noticed a vibration when not under a heavy load. It would stop when under about half throttle. i knew something wasnt right but didnt think much of it.

yesterday, i was out taking my pops for a ride, I was going up a slight hill in 2nd gear and heard a clunk. pulled over right away. sat around for a few minutes called roadside assistance, they took to long to answer so i tried seeing if i could make it home. i started creeping super slow, it moves then i hit about 3mph and started clunking. It seems like its only grabbing half the teeth on a gear or something. im no tranny expert at all, complete rookie.

the passenger side front axle had play in th right where it went into the tranny.

what should i look for/do to pinpoint if it is my tcase or tranny?

Sorry for the crappy description and all, I have a shit load of tools outside and stuff so i need to get back out there haha. I'll be back on later tonight.
