    00 Expy Rear Diff

    Take a look at tranny fluid; it should be almost transparent red. If it is darkish red the clutch (black in color made of carbon fiber) plates in the tranny are shot. Really you need to be a seasoned mechanic to tell the extent of the damage. This would cause the symptoms you are describing...

    Tranny blown?

    might want to look at getting a used tranny instead of rebuiling. if you do the labor yourself you would save a ton of cash.
