(EDIT) heres a link to the post with pics.. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...3727&st=25#
my teener was out of commission since about october until two weeks ago, i finally got the cv fixed and reshaped the shift rod and several other little things. man, it was awesome, for two weeks the weather here was perfect, i had the top off, just cruising about. looking like a BAMF. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) but today, i pull out of my garage, drive about 3 blocks down my street, stop at the stop sign. I start to go, when suddenly BAM! the exact same thing happens. the cv bolts shear off. car stops. and i go off. so, ive probably got a bent cv joint. and a bent shift rod again. can someone please explain. ive only got a 2.0. nothing fancy. this shouldnt be happening. unless its an undocumented feature of some sort.

oh, there was a missed step.... pics uploading now..
there she blew. looks mildly bent. bleh.. wtf is this... thanks dad for using the wrong bolts.. (you cant see, but its an allen head bolt, and its a little bit shorter than the RIGHT ones.) OHH AND WTF ARE THESE DOING IN A DRAWER? ... dad--> (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) <--me. so what im guessing happened, my dad calls a buddy, they decide to fix the axle while im tearing my hair out doing finals at school. awesome, i really appreciate it, until they decide to dismantle a perfect "new" cv, and put an old outer ring back on the axle, WITHOUT THE PINS IN IT. so... when i see the axles reassembled, and in good working order, im not going to take it back apart to check the stubs... i fix everything else and go on my merry way. this will be the last time i allow him to work on the car without my supervision. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) between this, and the lug nuts he somehow stripped AND crossthreaded... i just dont understand! but this should be an easy fix. just gotta find a torch to reshape the rod with.
