When I change gear and it almost like a clacking sound almost like a fan when its hitting something and sounds almost like a tractor with no exhust sound if that make sense
Well if it's the center diff, I'd say there is going to be a lot of metal through the gearbox. so really it needs an overhaul. You don't say whether it's auto or manual, but last time I overhauled an auto it took about twenty-four hours and six-hundred dollars of wearing parts and seals etc. I didn't have to replace gears because that one wasn't making that noise. A manual will be less hours. Whether auto or manual, parts with that noise coming out of it could cost anything.
The best thing would be to go around and get quotes. Off people that do overhauls, not garages that don't have a clue and will just send the box away to be done.

Check your gearbox oil with it's dipstick, have a real close look to see if there are any traces of metal in the oil on the stick. or. get someone to drain it and have a real good look. oil is fairly cheap.
