Differential help (non pontiac)
My son has a 1994 Ford Lightning. We found these in the differential. Anybody know what they are. The thing next to the coin. There were four of them. They all had damage, this is the best one.

You may want to ask same Q w photo at this Lightning Forum - 1st Gen Specific Section: http://www.lightningrodder.com/forum...=13&order=desc
My WAG is they may be broken shim tabs like on hand held pieces in the image below: http://i772.photobucket.com/albums/y...02-09_1026.jpg |

Actually at that many miles I would recommend a complete overhaul,have a pro do it you are unwilling to learn.If done incorrectly, IE; backlash not checked setup right it will grenade the unit.I think we have a few rear diff experts on here.
I would install a completely new carrier.Also look at the ring and pinion,that metal probly got all ground up,not good.Also all bearings need replaced.[including axle bearings and seals.] Maybe Mr. Tom V. can ring in on this too. 200,00 miles is dam good though.  http://eastcoastgearsupply.com/c-614...-8-8-inch.html

I've done this before. Not on the Lightning. Never noticed those. That is why I was asking where they went. Just curious.

Clutch tabs broke off. All of them on the right side. Had four on left side (two plates).

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
