Need front differential rebuilt or replaced looking at cost for the repair.
What is your question?
Front differential has overheated and gone bad, the dipstick skock out and almost all the gear oil was lost. This is wifes car. It took nearly 1.5 quarts to fill, but the damage is already done. Whines and as soon as you leave off the gas car slows like the brakes are being applied. Other than that car has ran great for last 8 years. I would do the work myself however I have been rebuilt too. My cervical neck had to have total reconstruction so working on car days are over except for easy jobs like oil changes, brake jobs,tranny flush, tune ups. Thanks for any help. Joe

You need the 'transaxle' .. Check eBay or salvage yard then call around for install estimates... If 4x4 - will need to include that info >> Good idea to check rear diff lube as well..
