I found this object in my differential. I bet that explains why the car doesn't move when I put it into gear. This was preceded a few weeks ago by a bad ignition coil. I hope to be driving before the summer ends.

Clean it out really good. MIne had a ton of bits in it. I put a magnet on the plug too.
 
I think I'd be a little worried about where it came from. :confuse:
 
Wow-- that's worth investing in the gaskets and seals to pull the axles and diffy out of there to have a really good look and cleaning.

It's the end of the axle that snapped, thus the not moving part. Everyone that has had this happens knows exactly what it looks like.
 
Sorry to here. Fortunately yours looks good standing still. :)

I'm happy to say that I had no idea what it was. :joyous:
