OK so I was headed down to southern ohio with a couple buddies in kind of a convoy to go to our once yearly trip to Sonic. On the way there it kind of made a weird noise all of a sudden on the highway...almost like a grinding whistle and it seemed as though I had slowed down...At first I suspected a boost leak because it seemed as though I could accelerate but only if i gave it very little gas because it seemed like if I floored it or shifted to another gear it would just spin the clutch or something. Then once we pulled into our first pitstop I realized it was far worse because ALL my ears would not let me accelerate quickly and something was grindilg like CRAZY. Being 2 hours into a 4 hour trip, we just kept going. We got to sonic, all was as it was at the gas station (not good at all but still drivable). So we headed back home on the 4 hour drive. About 2 miles from my exit to my house It suddenly sounded like if you were to hit about 100000 potholes doing 40 right in a row and it felt like if you were to throw an automatic car into park doing 60. Obviously I pulled it over to inspect and saw that the rear diff was leaking like my 2g BOV. The car is also unpushable and feels like it's "in park." I mean the engine turns on and everything but there will be no driving of this vehicle. What did I do?!?!
 
If I had locked up the rear end...would that mean that it would have just badly ####ed up the transfer case or would that mean my transmission is blown as well?
