Thank you AJ, Hal, and fsstnotch for the quick responses and suggestions.
Right after I "paniced" and started this thread, I call my neighbor who has far more car knowledge than I. He was puzzled at first, but came up with the cause in about 15 minutes.
It wasn't the differential nor the transmission.
It was clearance between the brake caliper and the junk wheel I had on the car to send it to the painter. You would have thought that I wouldn't have been able to move the car at all, but the wheels must be not in the same plane as the rotor and would only bind in one spot.
Easy fix! Just added two washers on each stud and moved it out about 1/8".
Everything is fine! Life is good! I owe my neighbor some drinks, but cheap payment.
My knee jerk reaction was, I've got a new differential that I bought with the car from CRII 2 years ago and I cannot even call them to discuss the problem with them right now.
Turns out that the real problem was only with my "head space and timing".
Anybody that ever cleaned a 50 caliber machine gun in the army will understand that comment.
Thanks, again to all who "gave this problem" some of their time in thought.
Tom Now it's off to the painter tomorrow!! Woo Hoo!
