I see. You shifted in gear and during that delay before it actually engages the selected gear you hit the gas and it slammed into gear blowing the diff. My dad it natorious for doing that. Our old 89' Grand Marquis took a good 2 seconds to engage and it would always hit hard because dad would already be on the gas. The 93' Olds 88 he owns now engages much quicker. My 97', however, takes a second from park to reverse. Reverse to drive is good though. Sorry to see you need a whole new trans. Luckely you have the light duty so it shouldn't be too expensive.
