Loud Klunk! Oh Nooooooooooo Options

[Curvie Roadlover]

Hi Gang, long time no see. The other day I was driving alon (minding my own business). I was stopped at a red light. As I began to pull away after the light changed, I heard a loud clunk, and, while the engine kept running, there was no drive. As I coasted into a parking lot, I looked in my mirror to see if I had left anything in the road - no. Anyways, The car now sits in the garage awaiting repair. Where should I begin. A cursory look didn't reveal anything obviously wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Thanks in advance for your replies

Looks like this has happened to a lot of us. I was in Battle Creek MI 2 months ago and the same thing happened. My CV joing had worked it's way off. All the bolts were still there they just loosened themselves and the joint fell off the transmission. It was a good thing this happened at a low speed! I was lucky. Just as I pushed into a parking lot. I person pulled up and handed me his business card. His name is Jerry at Euroeast Porsche shop. He was only 1 minute away! Turned a real bad into a pretty good one. If this is the case with your car, I reccomend using new lock washers and maybe some locktite on the threads. There also needs to be a gasket installed.
