Rebuild Trans

I think you would find 1k on the unlikely low side.

It will cost u a lot less to do it this way then to re build ur gearbox.
Even if u got somebody to take it off for you.

Stacey, up here in NY all the salvage yards give at least a 30 day guaranty
on drive train parts, but you still don't know if it is bad, the diff could
be the problem especially with the evidence of metal in the unit, if this is
from the spider gears, it would not move at times like you experienced.

I would pull the diff and take a good look at it, especially with the
evidence of metal in it, this is not a big deal, then all the conjecture
about what might be wrong will be cleared up. Worst case it is bad, you get
a used one and have the ring and pinion replaced in that one, matching the
front diff gears, the ratio will be marked on the ring gear or can be
figured by counting the ring gear teeth and dividing them by the number of
gears on the pinion. I still think it is too concidental that you would have
a bad trans and diff at the same time.
