Re: tranny problem with 90 Bonneville with 3800 V-6

No Bonneville was claiming that the differential was the problem, one 
wheel would spin and the other would not.  BOth wheels turn when the car 
is in reverse and only one turns when the car is in ANY forward gear.

Bonneville didn't read the whole posting and was trying to diagnose only 
the issue of one wheel turning while the car was up in the air - not the 
fact that the car would move in reverse but not in a forward gear.
