Most suvs have the transfer case linked to the transmission. Best is to take both out at the same time.Generally:

The transfer case problem is very much noticed by other Oldsmobile bravda users.
Oldsmobile technical service bulletins (TSBs) report that second and third generation Bravada models (1996-2004) suffer from multiple transfer case problems. In particular TSBs indicate that a "cracked or broken" transfer case is common. A crack in the transfer case impedes its ability to power the front and rear axles during four-wheel drive operation. Symptoms of a faulty transfer case include "shuddering" and "vibration" while driving in four-wheel drive. In some cases the four-wheel drive feature may become completely inoperative. In that case the transfer case needs to be replaced,to go through transfer case removal instructions.

Raise the vehicle and support with jack stands placed underneath the frame.
Drain the transfer case. Locate the drain plug near the bottom of the transfer case. Place a waste oil collection pan underneath the plug and use a socket to remove it. Once all the fluid has drained out, reinstall the plug.
Remove the bolts that connect the rear driveshaft to the rear axle yoke using a socket. Lower the driveshaft, and slide it backward underneath the rear axle to disengage it from the transfer case. Remove it from the vehicle.
