Well I think I found a good shop.
Let me just say that I'm very lucky I took it in when I did. According to the shop they took the main caps off and the diff & ring damn near fell out of the rear end. All they did was pull it out by hand, no resistance and no prying. They said they've never seen anything like this before. They were pretty surprised that there was no damage to the bearing, race, or ring & pinion. They said the bearings were properly pressed in. They even checked to see if the case had spread, which it hadn't. They're currently working on shimming it up and should have it together soon.
Needless to say I'm dissapointed this took presedence over headers and a clutch I had planned and I'm not ready for drag racing this weekend, but I'm glad I'm getting it fixed.
