Binding like you describe is likely Solenoic "C" in the rear tailshaft of the tranny. This is a common problem and too too expensive to fix.
One of the best svx mechanics in West Virginia, Tom Krynock, is located in Wiley Ford, WV (90 miles from fairmont). He is a member here and his handle is "svxfiles".
He is an SVX expert mechanic and has extensive experience with AWD binding and solenoid C problems. The has done many 4.44 transmission swaps, 6-speed manual conversion, etc.
Contact him through here by posting or a PM or check out his website HERE
