V1 First start. Car wont move. Grinding sound

Sorry. Accidentally posted. I took it to a dyno guy who fixed a engine problem. The first time the rear wheels turned under power was on the rollers. He accelerated lightly first and set some fuel mapping. Next he tried to do a more aggressive pull. That's when something happened. It started making a grinding sound and lost connection with the wheels. I'm sure it is in gear. Jacked up, in a gear, the problem seems to be in the final drive. Turning the right wheel does not turn the left at all. It should turn backwards (no LSD).

I have read about somone having a simular problem and it was the cv shaft pulled out slightly. Does anyone have insight on how to diagnose and fix this problem?

Take a picture of your axles where they go into the transmission.

The rubber seal on the driver side axle is keeping it from going in all of the way. That seal goes on the passenger side.
