On the toe truck. I was on my way to work, heard a "clunk" in the back end and, no go. I think something let loose in the tranny. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Kind of a bummer. Hopefully it's not major (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

motor runs fine but no power to the wheels.

you guy's are good! it was the CV, the good news is, it's ok. It looks like the bolts came loose and it was laying in the A arm.

I am missing a roll pin, is it ok to run it with 1 roll pin?

Yeah I broke a CV in half 3 or 4 months ago. What surprised me was even with the LSD I couldn't go anywhere(quaife). I was about a half mile from home so I just pushed it the whole way.

Hehe, I noticed the same thing when I accidentally backed my Mustang over a curb and got one rear wheel freewheeling in the air on the other side of the curb. I have an Auburn Gear limited slip, but with one wheel in the air I couldn't get anywhere. I jacked up the side that was stuck, and even then I could just barely get enough torque to the ground to drive off the jack. Had to do that 3 or 4 times until I could get a bite on pavement with both wheels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

BTW, limited slip pricing for old 'merican cars would make you cry.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
