2G transfer case output shaft play and diagnosis

[PVDSM]

I have a stock gsx manual. Recently removed transfer case because the previous owner said there was a whining sound coming from the car when driving.

The output shaft that goes into the drive shaft, has play where I can move it up/down and left/right, but not in/out. I haven't been able to find much on it, is this a bad sign and I should replace the transfer case?

I've posted some photos of the spline below. I believe they look good, but as it's my first time looking at actual splines I'm not quite sure.

It needs to be replaced or rebuilt. Shafts on transmissions etc should not have radial play.

The ends of the splines appear to be worn.

Thanks, will look into a replacement for now. I want to try rebuilding it in the future though, are there any rebuild kits? I looked on Jack's transmissions, but I only saw bearing replacements.

Unless the shafts are damaged that's all there is.
