The original transmission had severe main bearing wear and upon decel it made a huge "womp womp womp" sound. Instead of repairing/rebuilding that trans, I sourced a very good 1998 parts car with 125,000 miles. I transferred the trans/rear diff about 30,000 miles ago. The axles have roll pins through the splines. I'll jack it up and do what 908/930 recommends.

Driveshaft and the rear axles are still there.

Here's what mine looks like. That's where the front axles get pinned in.

Can anything in there fail causing the slipping? I've driven the car like it is for at least 50 miles, 30 of that was on the freeway at 65mph with no odd sounds or vibrations.

Strangest symptom is the MPH following the RPM when slipping with no change in actual speed.
