detailed pics of differential internals?

Hello, I am looking for some detailed pics of the internals of the Vibe AWD differential from a service manual if anyone has one. I am not able to locate any info on this and I need to see the inner workings of the differential. Any help would be appreciated!

I would think the ecu wouldn't matter, only thing it may do different is tell the rear end to kick in depending on traction loads if the front end starts slipping...because its not full time AWD...so if I were to disconnect the driveshaft, it may still send this signal to spin it but there wont be a...

when I took it to the dealer they said the leak was too minimal to have caused this problem, and that the oil level in the diff was still good.

this is not hard to do at all because the whole thing is mickey mouse, I looked at it today and its very basic....if you disconnect the driveshaft, and the two rear axles from the diff, the whole rear end becomes a simple free-wheeling unit....there's nothing to it...dont forget, this car is Front w...

Well my diff is making a loud sound that gets louder as speed increases so I'm pretty sure the diff or some part of it is gone....thats why I'm considering removing it cuz if this can happen at only 109K then we're all screwed down the road

AWD to front wheel drive possible?

Is it possible to change an AWD vibe to front wheel drive by disconnecting the main driveshaft and the rear driveshafts from the vehicle? Will it act as a regular front wheel drive car? I believe in theory it should work, I would like to hear other opinions on this.

Do these AWD Vibes have a problem wit...
