    Your Yokes maybe loose which can cause the lost in torqe also tighten the nutz for the wheels also you may have to check the gears in the transmission you may have to replace the ones that are losing their teeth thats probaly the problem but its a real problem to do check the nutz and the yokes first and tell me what happens

    Cool

    you probably just have to tighten the slipper cluch.

    try looking in the transmission, inside the differential. it is probabily the planetary gears. i had to replace mine 3 times.

    Be sure to check the slipper clutch. Always check the easiest thing first. DG is probably on the right track though. If the wheels turn when the car is off the ground but stop when you set it back down, it is probably a loose output yoke. If you hear grinding and clicking it is probalby a stripped gear inside the transmission.
