getting car ready for winter ....need some help

Car update

Have the driveshaft

Got a fender ... looking for another (Fed Ex damaged it) hopefully get it on saturday

Getting a rear diff and another complete driveshaft to play it safe
when I go back to work its getting all put together

Also getting a set of front seats since my passenger one split

Should have all parts by next week (since its starting to get snow in Pennsylvania)

Is there anything else that could be bad besides the rear diff why they would take out the driveshaft?

I dont know if stripe will work well in a foot of snow (the POSVX is low but hopefully soon it will be AWD)

I'm not up on the complete background on this, and probably missed some of your posts. But I just started wondering if maybe someone just removed the driveshaft so they could tow the car.

I humbly bow out if this has already been raised.

I know it's not what you want to hear, but I'm still guessing that the bastards pulled the shaft because the center diff was binding.
There is also a selanoid in the trans that can cause the center diff to bind (C??). Either one can be fixed without replacing the trans, but you may want to start to do some research on them.

Is there something else I need to get from the parts car besides the rear diff and the driveshaft (I think the drive shaft on that car is one piece)

Yes, Duty Solenoid C being weird causes the infamous torque bind. This is easily an $800 job to get fixed. If let alone, this can ruin the rear dif, and it would cause them to pull the shaft.

I also believe the drive shaft is 2 pieces...it is on my legacy.

I'd also suggest you check the play with the U Joints on the shaft..not a good thing to be going down the road and the joint seize...

I hope to have the AWD functioning correctly ASAP as Stripe isnt going to be good in the winter

and while it is fun to hit 15 -20 lbs of boost sideways in the snow in the GN I think I'll try to avoid any more exposure to the snow of the Buick

Why is selenoid C so expensive to repair? Looking in the manual, it looks accessable just by dropping the pan. Is the manual misleading and this is a "transmission pull" type job?

Actually you must remove the AWD "extension"...not just the pan.

Didnt get the center piece he was rebuilding his tranny and I guess needed it
