transfer case help
I have a 98 durango 4X4 with a 5.9l....I live in NC and i was driving to Florida.. I got all the way to Kissisime FL and i heard a light clunk.. and then a min or 2 later ias i gave it gas it felt liek it poped out of gear. I pulled over and made sure it was in gear nd it was... gave it gs and nothing.. the rpms went up like it ws in neutral.. i tried 1..2.. and reverse.. NOTHING.... i listened and heard like a grind midline on the durango.. right where the transfer case is. I shifted it to neutral and then shifted it to 4wheel hi and then put it in drive nd it engaged so i was goign to drive it to the next exit.. i pulled away and all was fine then i let off the gas a little and then it acted liek it poped out of gear again... So i pulled over again and i had my frined step on the break and put it in drive like i did befor when it wouldnt engage.. i crawled under and put my hand on the transfer case.. and yes the rattle and grind was from the transfer case.. i needed to go another 30 miles to get to my destination so i put it back in 2 wheel and started to drive it.. as long as when i slowed down i didnt let off the gas(meaning not letting slack in the motor or transfer case) i made it the rest of the way with out it popping out again.... MY QUESTION is how the heck do i get it all the way home to NC? what are my options? do i have to have the transfer case replaced(prolly like 1000 bucks or more) or can gears just be changed? prolly close to the same.. if i had it in NC at my shop i could do the work myself but as luck has it..... im in FL..
