RossMK2 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Sounds like the pin in the middle of the planet gears in the diff has come out and jammed against the casing inside the diff that makes sense from what we learnt at college Sounds to me that your seatbelts don't work that sounds bout right too glad you ok mate

livewire7116 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 drop prop first see if it rolls, if not its the diff for sure, if it does then could be the box
