Todd, not doubting you, I just want to understand this better.

Wouldn't a blown diff. not move the speedo gear? Or make some kind of a grinding noise when in gear?

That's just my general answer to broken transmissions.:D Kids beat on them and don't think anything will happen.

great news! it was the axle ... thing.. spline or what ever. it only took 2 hours and 230 bucks.. instead of a long time and a lot of money.

so now hopefully i can make it up to the meet.

thanks everyone for helping me threw this. good call on the axle.

Woot woot!!

For the future though, if you break an axle, replace with a GCK brand axle. Very strong, not expensive, and lifetime warranty.
