Well, we've all beaten one pretty hard at one time or another. Sometimes you get away with it, sometimes it breaks right way and sometimes it breaks a lot later on...
You don't specifically mention whether you did a job on the transfer case as well, or just the transmission itself.
A quick check of the KWAS catalog puts a restored transfer case at about $1,100. A rebuilt transmission is about $1,000.
Now, when I restored the '48 2WD, the local transmission shop did a rebuild for about $450. It took them three tries, but still less than $500. I'd guess (and it's a SWAG) a similar amount for a transfer case. If you're going to do the transmission, go all in and do the transfer case too. It probably has issues from old age and excessive exercise!
The "expert" may not know much more about it than you do - or could learn - but my philosophy is that the last guy who touched it owns the problems.
Look at the You Tube videos to see just what is involved. You may be able to at least look at the innards and see what broke.
Let us know what you find.
