have you checked the fluid level in it
if it is empty stop immediatley and disassemble it because the pump will have seized and is now spinning in the case
further driving will destroy the transfer case

What type of fluid........ must be ATF

Once you get it open you will probably find $100 is not enough.... $500 can get you a good rebuilt on Ebay.
