how much oil is in the trans-case ?

you may have burned up (a) bearing(s).

sounds like you smoked the bearings.

really that what my said it might have been so would just changing the oil help or do i have to get new bearings?

I would imagine that you didn't smoke the bearing's if there is gear oil in the case.Have you checked the fluid to see if there is any in it?If there isn't I would pull it and inspect.

i dont know how much oil is in it or if theres any

umm do you check the oil in your motor? when ever you change your oil you should check all fluid levels.

also if it's the wrong oil, using too heavy or too light an oil can cause the bearings to not get sufficient lubrication or heat transfer.

At this point you're probably taking a chance if you don't get it checked out. You might be able to drain the oil (if there's any in it) and re-fill it and be fine. Tough to know how much damage has been done. How good is your luck?

i it is ok but i dont know for sure but ill check it out this weekend when i can get a chance

chances are that if you fried it enough to smoke and now whenever you spin that bearing now it stinks chances are you burned it up pretty good. i'm surprised it didn't seize or something but hey who knows. if i was you i would just pull it and buy a regeared case from marlin. but that's just me.
