note where pinion gears sheared the pin off the clutch assist members, and were floating freely within the differential housing.

bootnote: This is undoubtedly the dumbest and most ghetto thing I've ever done to a car. This is reckless, stupid, retarded, cheapassed, and half-assed. I know. Give me a break while I save up for Mr. Kaaz.

I was doing it at spencer's house, but it was Spence, Petrush, and myself doing a whole lot of welding.
