Glove box stickers, build sheets a D such are long gone..
While doing maintenance on the diff found the magnet holding big chips of spider gears.
Ring and pinion are good. 3.55 ratio. The wheels do not appear to rotate in opposite directions appreciably.. . Ie, the little bit they do, is maybe 3mm, could be the spiders have crap in them.
It is apparent that the diff may be a LSD or Open. Previous owner was a Doctor who used this as a runabout to get to work and never wheeled it. All the work was done at the dealership, I have paperwork going back to purchase new.
If diff is open, I will be installing an Aussie Locker or equivalent.
If diff is LSD, well then it appears to be a pain, as the spider gears are not available. So then we are looking at regear, new RP setup, etc.
I have a Pic. Can anyone *who knows* confirm from the shape what this is? I will have to figure out how to post the Pic as photobucket went stupid.. That's actually been the biggest pain trying to ID this...
