Hi Wally, it sounds like the snap ring (circlip thingy) may have come off the rear of the mainshaft allowing the mainshaft to float. He will have to take the pto cover off the rear of the transfer case and check if the snap ring is in position or not. It's on the mainshaft behind the transfer input gear when you remove the pto cover.
