Im RWD. What options do I have? Damn Diff!

[Froyd79]

Im no expert at trannys but this one had a welded center diff. Well I was playin in the snow and she went RWD on me on the 5th launch I was doing. So I have yet to tear it apart so im not sure exactly what is wrong but I assume the center shit the bed. Driving home rwd in the snow= not fun. Kinda scary. Anyway I have another car so im not driving this one. But back on topic. I would like to keep this tranny as it has been so smooth and reliable no grinds or nothin. Its a 91 tranny in a 90 car. So option 1 would be get another tranny, I have access to and will do in a last resort method. Get a built tranny, Thinkin about it but I hate to rebuild a trans that was working and still is ALMOST flawlessly. So can I get rewelded if thats the case? Does a welded center diff just stop working? So what options do I have. Thanks Guys. Oh yeah I did search but I am getting confused on welded diffs and VCs ,eliminators and such just hoping someone can make it not simple but some way so I understand what could have broke and what I might need to replace. I am definately looking to keep this trans and keep it in a 4x4 state.

Did you ever figure out the problem? My car was doing the same thing... I pulled the tranny out and the diff was still intact (welded) and i couldn't find any other problems

I never did find out what was wrong! I got an offer on it RWD and I found one local for 150 so I just swapped it up and have been fine! The guy that went rwd has tried launching and dicking around but now he is sellin it because of busted axles and rears. was cool for a little while. And boy am I glad to have no more welded center so much nicer to drive but will never launch as hard!@ Post back if you figure it out im very interested to know!. I guess than means the front diff must have bunked!
