saving your Quarters for a tranny rebuild. Either the diff is coming
apart(not likely) or there is so much end play in one of the shafts that it's
binding(seen it before) As the shaft changes direction from its normal
rotation, all that play heads the other direction and tries to lock it into 2
gears for example...Smile--better to rebuild before it leaves you stranded or
totally destroys the transmission.
