you may have broken something in the driveline.
only use 4wd if the wheels can spin ie lose traction.

I am inclined to second that!
The thing about this 4WD system is that is is a regular system - old fashioned really - unlike many of today's 4x4s that have a central torque system. I will say right now that I never engaged four wheel drive on any of my LJ SJ, Vitaras or this Jimny on the move and avoid doing it if I can in my Mitsubishi. I might if I was slithering about and it was an emergency.
