Question
Wath could have broken in the box if I can't get High range 4x4 drive.  When I selected High range I heard a noise as if something had broken.

Answer
I can't answer that without seeing it apart.
They're pretty easy to take apart.
the only hard part is taking the three drive flanges off.
You either use an impact wrench or thread bolts in the holes and use a big prybar to keep the flange from turning.
Then take the shifter out, the switches off, and unbolt the small cover then the half bolts, and take it apart.
I strongly suggest a factory manual.

Expertise

Questions regarding the advisability of different kinds of modifications to Samurai/Sidekick/Tracker for various kinds of off-road usage. IF IT'S NOT A SAMURAI/SIDEKICK/TRACKER, I MAY ENTIRELY AT MY OPTION, MAKE A GENERALIZED STAB AT THE ANSWER, BUT WHEN YOU ASK NON-SAMURAI SORT OF STUFF, YOU'LL PROBABLY BE TOLD TO GET A SERVICE MANUAL AND LEARN ABOUT YOUR VEHICLE. The last Suzuki motorcycle I've had any experience with is a 1966 X-6.

Experience

I've been a professional mechanic for over thirty five years, live in the center of the Rocky Mountains, and have been active in exploring the old mining/4wd roads for decades. I've specific experience with Samurai modification, because that's my personal vehicle.

Education/Credentials
Thirty five years of advanced, intensive classes for experienced professionals only. Manufacturer seminars and training classes averaging four to six weeks per year. I'm now a professional heavy duty fleet mechanic, and no longer deal with issues such as MIL (check engine) lights, and electronics issues on late Suzukis such as Vitara.
