It's your diff pin. They will slide out of the tranny...time for a new tranny. Make sure you have the diff pin welded into place this time.

I might be able to help you with that because I'm an auto mechanic with 30 years experience, but I'm going to need a little more information. Is the bar flat? round? what exactly does it look like? A picture would be nice, do you own a digital camera?

ps. I may not be able to find this thread again, so email me at [email protected] and we'll discuss the matter when I get home from the shop tonight or tomorrow or whenever.
