I think if the car moves at all, it'll be more FWD, than RWD.

But a shattered t-case gears will make a god awful noise when in motion.

Drop the clutch at 5k and try to burn out to see if there is smoke coming from the rear wheels or the front wheels lol.

That's generally a pretty good sign your TC is f'd. It usually starts above 60mph and then as it gets worse, it'll start making noise sooner at lower speeds and progress to get louder and louder. Also, it should do this in any gear. Alot of times, in neutral or gassing, it'll howl, but in deceneration in gear, the noise will either be quieter or go away. That's just my experience.

btw: a blown TC generally results in a lock up of the rear wheels does'nt it?
