We tried taking pictures of the numbers, but every angle we tried blotted out some of them. It's not stamped on one of the raised squares, but vertically just behind the front of the rear end. It did occur to me, however, that I might be reading it upside down/backwards.... instead of "11968" it could be "89611" since none of the numbers are in a font that would indicate a difference.
I'm still struggling with the rear end being locked up, too. I finally got the stuck bolts in the rear and top seals off, and the fluid drained. It was dark red, with a greenish tint when the flashlight hit it while flowing, mixed with water and some thick, gritty sludge in the bottom. So, that brings another question, what fluid will I refill it with? Is it transmission fluid just the same as my pickup truck, or a special fluid?
Also, I'm sorry because I know at the beginning some of you seemed to know what was causing the lockup/opposing spin on the rear end, but I'm still confused since I don't know one gear from another. Transmissions confuse me, except for driving them normally! Is there a chart/diagram I could look at somewhere? I guess I need things explained in kid terms for now, with pictures (at least to start) if possible.
