OK, guys, I'm in trouble here. I know many of you don't know me, except maybe a few of the old timers...

I don't really have time for introductions, but I need your help.

My 97 Montero Sport is stuck. My girlfriend took it to work this morning due to the snow here in NJ. She got about a mile before it just stopped moving. Of course, I was still in bed so I have no idea exactly what happened...

I got down the road to see what I could do, and I find that the truck won't put any power to the wheels whatsoever, and it clicks rapidly when shifting to Park (Automatic, of course). I can't get the 4WD shifter to move anywhere, it's stuck in limbo.

When I shift to Drive or Reverse the engine "loads off" as if it was being shifted OUT of a drive gear and into Neutral.

Please, someone tell me where to look. I'm no stranger to mechanical things in general, but frankly, I'd like to have at least some clue before I go crawling around under this truck out on the street in a half a foot of snow... And I don't know ANYTHING about Mitsus other than their similarities to Isuzus...

Please, if anyone has had any similar problems, please let me know how to fix it... I used the search, but it doesn't find much of anything useful with my search terms (click, park, 4WD, stuck, etc...) -- I didn't figure it would, based on how generic those terms are on a 4x4 Forum....

Please point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance,
