I'm pretty sure my pinion bearing is toast... a groan/whine on acceleration and deceleration led me to find the final drive WAY LOW on fluid due to a leak. Refilled but too late.

I'm in northern West Virginia and am looking for any recommendations within an hour or two. Tight timeline too, as we have a trip planned for the end of the month.

Thanks everyone.

You can order a rebuilt exchange from places like German Transaxle, AA Transmissions, or Long Enterprises. That should get you going in fairly short order. There are probably east coast shops that will do exchanges as well.
