ok just some FYI…its not just a Saturn thing. MOST FWD cars can have a differential pin blow out. Alot of neon guys, including myself, and my friend Jack just last week, have blown the differential casing to a million bits in neons. But Pretty much any FWD can have this failure. Not just Saturns…in case some of you were confused or uneducated. ---

I never welded a diff pin in the 2 saturns I owned…with built motors. I did alot of burnouts, and never had the pleasure of blowing one up…however I think I was just lucky. ---

I bea thte hell out of my saturn, although it doesn’tusually have enough power to do burnouts, I do use it like a truck. why just yesterday I towed a 88audi 5000S from springville to cheektowaga. part of the trip was on the 219 @65mph. I have towed my 94 blue SHO parts car about 12 miles 89 parts car SHO 3 miles 01 audi 2-3 miles its a beast! do the automatics have diff issues? ---
