parkerman, do you know how to repair if you had the gears or you gotta take it to a shop?

thx for the replies guys. i ended up buying a used tranny from a salvage yard. it was $350(US) but many said parts for a rebuild would be pretty high as well. at least its running again. just out of curiousity, i removed the cover on the old diff., it appears the pinion bearing exploded! quite an ugly site. oh well, thx again
