With this thread I'm hoping someone can provide their and shed some light on what I hope is only a clutch replacement. I've been following this forum for years (and actually the reason why I got the CL) and must say I appreciate the knowledge the members contribute.

I pulled onto the street and did a fairly hard shift into 2nd and on shift immediately clunky noises and no power to wheels. I pulled over engine still running good and softly tested first and again clunk noises and no movement.

The clutch has been showing signs of wear and that's what I think it is but I'm interested what else it might be. I'm looking into parts now and wondering what else I should potentially prepare myself for.

Thanks

 

sounds more like your broke an axle. can you shift into gear when the car is on?

 

Don't sound like a clutch to me
Re'

 

This sounds like what happened to me recently. I snapped my driver side axle. You can just look under the car and can tell if the axle is snapped or not.

 

Yep, sounds like a axle

 

Thanks guys. Pretty much in tune with what I'm hearing from other people. I'll take a look when I go to check on the car today. I'm going to bring the car to a shop just a block away from where it's parked... at least that's convenient. I'll find out the damage then.

And yes, I can shift into gears when car is on.

 

it's not your clutch then

 

 

Confirmed, busted driver side Axle. Thanks everyone who chimed in.
