broken open diff..
..So my car is on jack stands, and I thought it was something to do with the tranny. I replace the tranny with another and new slave and all that jazz and attempt to drive my car. However the driveshaft just spins, so then I take off the back case cover on my open diff and find a broken gear, both halves of it are laying inside. My question's to ya'll are:
Is sliding in an open diff (or trying too..) harder on the diff than if you were using a limited slip?
Does anyone have a writeup on welding a diff?
What does it mean when people say they have 25% lockup, someone told me quite a bit about lockup awhile back, but I forgotten.
How many people are using:
-Welded diff's
-After market diff's
or....
-oem LSD's?
Thanks in advance!

These explains the difference between 1.5 and 2 way LSDs that will give you a better understanding of what they do so you'll understand what's what etc...
