This car has a very high ratio in the differential. Something like ~8:1.
Most ICE vehicles have ~3:1 or 4:1.
The gears may prove difficult to replace. I would start by replacing all
the standard, more ordinary parts, like the bearings. Replacing the
bearings may add some life to the worn gears.
Here is an Ebay listing for your gear box:

I would snap that up if I were you. :-)
Here is a motor and gear box from the same seller:

I would also highly recommend putting in Schaeffer Oil brand gearlube,
instead of the ordinary parts store gear lube you are running. Don't
know what they put in it, but it is superior.

Hi All,Our 1995 Solectria E10 (converted Chevy S10) has a failing differential. Our
mechanic checked it out and when he drained the lube it was a "metal
milkshake". The truck is still driveable but the diff will eventually completely
fail.According to James Worden (founder of Solectria) these differentials were custom
made by Halibrand, and it looks like they're long gone.Does anyone know of a shop that
would be capable of rebuilding this differential?Thanks,-TomSent from my Verizon, Samsung
