Broken CV and cant drive car

Hi guy's
Broke the passenger side CV Saturday night having fun in the bush but then I could not drive the car at all and could not even put it in park
When I did put it in park the drive shaft would stop spinning but then I would just roll down the hill then put it back in drive it would spin again
but would not move the car
I have heard when it is in 4wd it will send all the power to the wheel that is spinning but pressed the button and still no good
Has anyone had this happen to them
I have a new CV on order and will replace it this weekend but not sure what else I have done
Thanks
Daryl

To get home or to help you can remove the shaft to that wheel and engage high lock. That should work. It certainly worked in my son's surf on Stockton. (Probably a good idea to block off the hole that's left with a plastic bag or similar.)

Sounds like you had the transfer case unlocked. In that case yes all drive will go to the single failed CV, and yes in park the vehicle could roll.

The solution is to engage transfer lock, to force 50% power to the rear axle, which will enable you to drive from the rear wheels and park safely.

If you engage transfer lock and the vehicle is still exhibits the original symptoms, then the transfer lock mustn't be functioning or you have a secondary failure (transfer case or rear diff).
