You may want to hold it in with some brackets instead of welding it. Brackets make life much easier if you want to work on the diff again - like for instance installing a PG, or changing PG springs. Here's a PG install link that talks about welding the pin - it also shows and talks about the brackets - http://www.scecnet.net/~neonneon/neon/gripinstall.html

i welded the pin. I actually had someone do it for me, i don't weld. It was straight forward. But if i would have known about the brackets i would have gone that route.

pinb rackets 4.20$ each u need too no welding anymore dude

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

Also remember that you have to trim the tops of the brackets if you don't want to rip up the speed sensor gears.

I have always had trepedations about welding the diff pin. If you are doing a burnout, and the pin thermally expands to "weld" itself to a spider gear, then I think that the pin would have a high chance of breaking anyways, but it would happen somewhere inside of the weld. this could still liberate a spider gear or 2 which would ruin a transmission.

I welded mine as well, but I'd get the brackets if I was you....just in case for some reson you need to take apart your differential. What ever happened to your tranny anyways???

Damn, I thought that's what happened. Well, if nothing(or not much) was damaged then it wouldn't be a total loss. I'm sure you could sell it to some AT guy who want to swap in a MT. This friggin pin problem is too common for our cars. I wish I had some performance oriented reason to drop the tranny so I can bracket the little bastard in...maybe Santa will get me a PG this Christmas.

This link will help you a little.

http://www.scecnet.net/~neonneon/neon/gripinstall.html

It will all make sense when you get the tranny open.

The last picture in this link has the trimmed brackets on the diff.

Opening the tranny is cake, getting it back together is a bitch x10

Hope this helps
Brian
