So i have a 92 240sx and i bought it with a welded diff and a few days ago in a drive thru it stoped and didnt want to go anywhere i put it in first and try to go but it just dosent move and when i called a tow truck when they pulled it on the back wheels were not spinning at all so i though maybe the diff was bad but is their anything else that can cause this i can still get it to move a little bit but then the wheels just lock up? all help is appreciated

Sounds like the diff is toast. Have you jacked up the rear end and tried spinning the wheels individually?

You're lucky it happened in a drive thru and not on a highway at 60mph.

Sounds like the weld broke off your diff and locked the wheels up. You'll have to take out the diff and whatever else that entails.
