I was humming along PCH and stopped at the 7-11. As I left the 7-11; put the car in firs, let outage clutch. I har this sound like the tranny popped out of gear. After that, no selected gear did anything. Engine runs fine, just can't drive.
Tjis was Friday, had the car towed to PCH garage, a couple of blocks away. Has anyone had this happen to them ? 914Toy,Keith, suggested several possibilities: 1. Cone screws at shifter rods 2. Roll pin in the short shift lever at the rear console 3. Inspect/turn each drive shaft independently and listen for noises and note motion The car has a recent Tangerine rear shift console modification. Any experience and/or suggestions will be appreciated. @Dr Evil |

JIm,
I know you have some power, but it's not like you have an LS, weakest link I thought was the CV. I'd love to see pics if it is and this is not a normal mode of failure. Also if it failed, repack and inspect the CVs while they are out. |

JIm, I know you have some power, but it's not like you have an LS, weakest link I thought was the CV. I'd love to see pics if it is and this is not a normal mode of failure. Also if it failed, repack and inspect the CVs while they are out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The CV is almost always the weakest link. Jim if you get a chance you could start the car, put it in gear, have someone else look underneath and see if one of the axles or inner CV is spinning despite the car not moving. The axle will sometimes also be loose depending on how bad the carnage is. Still sounds like a CV but I'm no @Dr. Evil. |
