torque tube help please!!

[Old School Kid]

Well the old girl had to come home on the stretcher yesterday... Thanks 72Freak...

While out for a little Sunday drive I came to a stop and the crunching began. It will go into gear just fine it just feels like the tube is binding up internally. I know nothing about the inter workings of a torque tube.. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

I know a lot of people have made the change over to a open setup... Is there a way to fix the torque tube? Don't really want to get into changing out transmission,drive shaft and rear end yet.$$$$$

Thank for all your help..
