Think I just blew out my Rear-End----HELP

[1996mustangGT]

Okay so im driving sown the road and KA-BLAM I cannot go anywhere. Coast into a deserted parking lot to look into it. I put it in all 5 gears (and revers) and the car will not go anywhere. I can still hear the clutch engaging and I can engage the trans in any gear.
Also if the car is in gear and clutch is out the driveshaft will spin but not go anywhere???
I think its the rear end something or another....going to get it towed to my dads and start looking at what it might be...
Any ideas would be greeaaatttlllyyy apreciated.

Thanks in advance...

[realitygt]

[1996mustangGT]

Do I need to install a drain valve on the headlights or is it already there, i can't find it.

 

[BruhBrahBrad]

Nah man just drain it out of where the bulb goes.

you need a left hand screwdriver to take off the high beam intensifier, and it's right there next to the horn's cooling fan

I've gotten that far w/ it but I think I need a metric crescent wrench, btw does anyone know if the horn cooling system is interchangable with the water pump from a 65 VW bug or do I need one from an 83 corvette?

 

[duh09]

The 83 corvette will be better for a DD but if you don't care about idle issues and just want strip performance, I'd go with the 65 VW one. It's proven to provide about 35+rwhp. But you'll prolly need to get the exhaust tuned to get it all to work right.

I caught my Diff before it exploded and replaced it.

I replaced the Stock diff with a Auburn HD LSD..... Makes the drive a WHOLE like different (In a GREAT way)

 

[1996mustangGT]

im tearing into it tonight to see whats up.
may be time for a 9 in.

Trust me, you dont need a 9 inch. It will just be more work for little results.

Just replace everything with a 31 spline T-lok and axles or do what i did and get a Auburn

 

[1996mustangGT]

we shall see...local guy builds old fords (Falcons etc) and said he might have an old 9in or even a 8.8 laying around thats built that i could scavenge parts outt for cheap....

thanks for the input guys!
