I chanced my gear oil and found the same stuff in it.I had a lot more pieces in there.Took it to the stealership,They put a new lsd in, said it was coming apart.They also told me they were having problems with these LSD units.Go figure.

Well, call me crazy, but I'm just gonna let this whole thing slide for now. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".......I have a bad feeling I'm gonna pay for saying that, but there is absolutely no way I can afford a new differential or anything right now. I graduate college in 5 weeks and will FINALLY get to start making steady paychecks after that. My diff just has to last another 2 months or so and I'll have the funds to mess with it. I'd love to get a trac lok and some 3.92's anyway.....

A slight update to the sitation, although I'm not sure if it's related problem. This evening I was taking off from a stoplight, accelerated to about 10 mph, then continued to give it gas while the rpm's revved, but it seemed like something was jammed or stuck. Rpm's contintued to climb but I was not accelerating at all. After about 2 or 3 seconds I hear this horribly loud CLUNK. Apparently something fixed itself and popped back into "gear" and I was off as if nothing had happened.

I have no idea if it had anything to do with my differential falling apart or not. Anyone have any insight into this I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
