Let me just preface this by saying I still have a lot to learn about cars, so forgive my ignorance on a lot of this stuff.
I bought an '86 245 about 6 months ago. 4 speed w/ overdrive, cut springs, welded diff. It's been a blast to own and drive so far aside from a few setbacks until last week. I dumped the clutch at a stop sign in the rain and it just kinda stopped moving lol. Limped her home and fast forward to the next day when I had some light to see what might have happened. I find a nice big hole in my differential cover.
So I guess I'm just wondering what's the best way to go about finding a fix for it? Looked in to some LSD options but I'm not sure if I can swing that financially right now. I also own a 740 that's died on me at school this week but from what I've come to understand I don't think I can swap the diff from that to the 240 right?
I appreciate any help you all might have to offer, thanks.
