    Exclamation Emergency diff swap tonight! Help!

    Lost my pinion gear today. Juxt3r is kind enough to let me have the diff from his white car, so...

    Come on over and lend a hand! Bring your jackstands and tools! It'll be fun, or something. One way or another there will be beer.

    PM or call two one 4 - six se7en six - seven ate oh six for directions. I live two buildings away from jux, so if you know where he lives - I'm close!

    We'll be starting around 6-ish and finishing when my car doesn't sound like a jackhammer going down the road.

    It's amazing what a raging 80 lb-ft of torque will do to a pinion gear... impressive carnage. I hope you learned your lesson... no more jackrabbit starts!

    Post your pics, dammit!

    BTW, I still say a little JB Weld would fix that sucker...
