Good eye indeed. VERY interesting however. I changed nothing. Same bolts and everything else that I took off went right back on. And yes, I had to rotate the axles to get them off and on. They weren't there before, yet that obviously makes sense. I don't remember seeing anything in the WSM about it either.
SOOOOOO, back to the differential. Could that have damaged the internal workings, or is that a seperate issue? AND can the differential be worked on with the tranny IN the car? I would imagine not.

They are not?
I'd like to compare width of that CV joint disk with you.
Its great news that the limit of the damage is this, by the way!!!!
You can keep rolling with only minor rework.

Mark, are you saying that the differential seems to be malfunctioning, and the wheels should turn the oppisite direction?

Am wondering if your bolts did most of the damage years ago, then you noticed it recently doing a tad more damage because you cleaned and torqued them, getting them a bit deeper than they already were?
84 mounted to G28-07 transaxle (installed with later grease backing caps against trans flange)
85-on CV shown loose
84 style inner CV is about 1 7/8 inches wide.
Later style (showing 86) is sub 1 1/2.
I removed one of the long 84 bolts to contrast it with the 86 bolt.

They were pretty tight.
Interesting theory, and the only one that really makes any sense at all. Those grooves are close to an 1/8' deep. I would think that would make more noise than what I heard. I guess I could have tourqued those bolts down just a little more to recut those grooves.
The joint I have is definetly the one on top (bolted to the car). Maybe all the extra pounding and scraping was enough to send the spider gears over the top. Guess I just have to rely on Occam's razor for this one. Either way, I'm back to my original dilema, what to do with the car. I still haven't forgotten about your offer IcemanG17, and thanks by the way.

Take a deep breath. Put it under the cover for a while and reflect. Don't do anything rash. Maybe you want to loan the chainsaw you used to cut the xmas tree down to a neighbor for a while. Then consider your options.
Every time I hit that entrance ramp to the highway, hear that engine roar and feel those tires grip the road I remember why I deal with the hardships of classic car ownership.

The car should be fine with new short bolts, shouldn't it?
