not to sure as yet but took the backplate off the diff to find only 1 wheel turns at anytime if you spin them while in gear.

Also couple of teeth have gone from each side so could poss be halfshafts

Could this be the problem???

So it looks like you have two problems...welds in the diff have failed, and your no traction problem. If the welds have failed taking the teeth of the spider gears with them, they could be one and the same problem...

I have a 3.64 diff from an injection 360 (or 1.7) kicking around here.

You'll need a cover plate (from the old diff) and one of Mac's gasket kits.

cheers

If you're flogging it, just fit the diff and let the new owner weld it themselves. Once a diff is welded like this, it's bound to come a cropper anyway so let someone else do it......

Is that a brand new cover plate....or just cleaned / repainted? Finding good ones now is tricky...they're a fairly nasty design :(

cheers
