I would suspect the transmission has failed not the transfer case. Have Aamco diagnose it, they do this for free in most cases.

SOURCE: transmission shifting problems

If Drive Selector switch is properly aligned then a shift silonoid might be the problem.

My hyundi lantra wont drive i put the drive shaft in and it wont move would it be because there is no oil in the manaul transmission

I'm not a mechanic guru but be sure, if you have no oil in transmission, your system is definitively damaged.
Fill the oil but, I guess, it's too late, damage is done.
If still won't move, tow it to your repair service, probablbly you'll have to spend some good money repairing it.

Manual Transmission made a clunking noise while pulling away from a stop sign while in first gear. Car would then not move forward or reverse. Able to shift in all 5 gears and also in reverse.

sounds like you have a busted drive shaft or a bust spigot shaft going into your gear box. Easiest way to check on this is to jack up the front of the vehicle and spin the wheels. If the drive shafts move then they are fine and you have a busted spigot shaft. The only way to replace this shaft is to drop the gear box and replace it.

2002 explorer acts like its in neutral ,but speedo goess up when i put in drive so i know the trans is spinning,but it wont move

Yes based on this you may have a problem in the transfer case or a broken output shaft from the transmission, tear it down and inspect it.

Transmission or rear end

Pinion gear is out. You will have to have car towed to a reliable auto center, they will go through the system.
It may be quite expensive.

I heard a loud pop, then the vehicle wont move in any gear.It then grinds when I try to put it in park.

It sounds like you broke a Constant Velocity joint (CV Joint). The pop was probably the joint breaking. When you put it in gear it's just spinning. Think of one of your hands as the transmission. Hold a pencil that would be the CV Joint(s) and axle, and use the other hand to hold the other end of the pencil. That's the front hub (part that makes the wheel turn). So you have ...hand, pencil...hand = trans, axle... wheel. If you hold the pencil firmly with both hands, and spin the pencil with one, both hands still move.

If the pencil breaks...the one not spinning does nothing.

So...The transmission is trying to make the van go, but the cv joint is broken, so the wheels aren't spinning. When you put the van in park, the transmission doesn't know the vans not moving. Therefore it's making the same noise as if you put the van in park while driving. If you must start the van and put it in gear to see if the driver's or passenger's axle is just spinning. Shut the van off, wait a minute for the axle shaft to stop spinning, and then put it in park.

Transmission removal

The starter must also be removed and the 4 torque convertor bolts need to be removed, after that only the shift linkage remains and out it comes.
