transmission/transfer case broken. need some help

[4*G*6*3]

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.

haha, i know. thanks though man. I drained the tranny fluid, had allot of metallic flakes in it, burnt as hell, and a few little chunks lolz. the transfer case looks like new, input/output shafts looks fine.

Should the tcase spin easily by hand? because i cant turn it at all.

Metal chunks came out with the trans fluid?

And yes you should be able to spin the transfer case easily, just stick your thumb into the input it should spin.

Yea I'd say that trans is fucked. I speak from experience.
