Well, I've got the diff opened up. I cleaned up the outside of the trans before draining it because I didn't want any of the crud from the outside to end up inside.

I guess the trans with the fluid weighs about 60 lbs or so. You can lift it by yourself, but don't plan on carrying it far!

I replaced the reverse lockout spring and put the cover back on to test it. To my layman's touch, it feels like that's the way it was before it went bad. It still rests between...
