[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 17008194, member: 141815"] Unfortunately I'd say you either broke a pinion gear shaft or lost the spider gears in the differential. Otherwise I's say the car would try to move if you'd broke a few teeth off of the pinion or ring gear in the rear. Yes you will need to rebuild the rear axle. I'd upgrade while I had it apart to a WaveTrac 33 spline differential, but this requires new wheel bearing housing to be welded to the axle tubes. It would eliminate the C-Clips that retain the stock axles for a safety upgrade, along with the fact the WaveTrac distributes torque to the tires under all conditions for better traction regardless if one wheel is not touching the road surface. The downside to the WaveTrac is the cost, but it is inline with a Gleason Torsion or an Strange S Trac, if you have to replace the center section due to a spider gear failure. Or you can take the route offered above and purchase a used rear to save money. This would also give you time to rebuild your existing rear up at a later date [/QUOTE]
