Hi, havn't been on here in awhile, changed the fluid in my differential today, 2003 1500 HEMI 70,000 miles, well there was a metal clip laying in bottom broken in about 8 different pieces, while it took me a couple of minutes for the panic to wear off, I broke out the flashlight and every thing looks good no marks on ring or pinion c-clips intact, spider gears clean, but lots of shavings in the fluid gold colored(clutch material?). Anyways after looking more I saw a clip holding the clutch pack together on passenger side, when I checked the ring gear side no clip holding the clutch pack together! The broken piece!
After hearing tons of horror stories about these differentials, I want to know how big of an issue this is, how soon it should be fixed and what is the best solution. I love my HEMI, really don't want to change the gears, just want to keep on rolling, have intake/exhaust/getting ready to install diablosport(good enough for me). I do not do John Force Burnouts this is my daily driver I have other vehicles for burnouts. Any info on this situation would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS!
